Proud Mary John Foggerty (uitvoering Ike & Tina Turner)
Slow part
D
Spoken lyrics:
“You know, every now and then,
I think you might like to hear something from us nice and easy.
But there's just one thing you see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy.
We always do it nice and rough.
So we're going to take the beginning of this song and do it easy.
Then we're going to do the finish rough.
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'.
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story”
D
Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
CHORUS:
A Bm G
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin'
D
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans.
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

So if you come down to the river
Bet you're gonna find some people who live,
You don't have to worry, if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give.

And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the River
