[VERSE 1]

 

 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

A                            Bm

Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'

 D

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

 

 

[VERSE 2]

D

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans

 

But I never saw the good side of the city, 'til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

A                            Bm

Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'

 D

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

If you come down to the river, bet you're gonna find some people who live

You don't have to worry, cause you have no money, people on the river are happy to give
