[Verse 1]
B
Left a good job in the city,
B
Workin for the man every night and day,
B
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
B
Worryin bout the way things might have been.
[Chorus]
F#
Big wheel keep on turnin,
G#m
Proud mary keep on burnin,
B
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
[Verse 2]
B
Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis,
B
Pumped a lot of pain down in new orleans,
B
But I never saw the good side of the city,
B
til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
[Chorus]
F#
Big wheel keep on turnin,
G#m
Proud Mary keep on burnin,
B
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
[Verse 3]
B
If you come down to the river,
B
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
B
You dont have to worry cause you have no money,
B
People on the river are happy to give.
[Chorus]
F#
Big wheel keep on turnin,
G#m
Proud Mary keep on burnin,
B
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
