[D] Left a good job in the city,
[D] Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
[D] And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
[D] Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Chorus
[A7] Big wheel keep on turnin'
[Bm] Proud Mary keep on burnin'
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

[D] Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
[D] Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
[D] But I never saw the good side of the city
[D] 'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

Chorus
[A7] Big wheel keep on turnin'
[Bm] Proud Mary keep on burnin'
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river

[D] If you come down to the river
[D] Bet you gonna find some people who live
[D] You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
[D] People on the river are happy to give

Chorus
[A7] Big wheel keep on turnin'
[Bm] Proud Mary keep on burnin'
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
[D] Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
