[Verse]

A
Looking for a job in the city,
A
Working for The Man every night and day,
A
Then I never lost a minute of sleeping,
A
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.


[Chorus]

E
Big wheels keep on turning,
F#
Proud Mary keep on burning,
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.


[Verse 2]

A
Seen a lot of plates in Memphis,
A
Pumped a lot of plain down in New Orleans,
A
But I never saw the good side of the city,
A
Till’ I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.


[Chorus 2]

E
Big wheels keep on turning,
F#
Proud Mary keep on burning,
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Come on now


[Solo]

[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus 3]

E
Big wheels keep on turning,
F#
Proud Mary keep on burning,
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river one more time
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river one more time
A                                E A
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
