D
Left a good job in the city, 
Workin for the man every night and day

A                            
Big wheel a-keep on turnin' 
      Bm
Proud    Mary keep on burnin',


     D
Roll - in', rollin', rollin' on the river


D
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,  
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
A                            
Big wheel a-keep on turnin,  
     Bm
Proud  Mary keep on burnin',


     D
roll - in, rollin, rollin on the river.


     D
roll - in, rollin, rollin on the river.


D
If you come down to the river, 
Bet you're gonna find some people who live,
People on the river are happy to give.
A                         
Big wheel keep on turnin,
     Bm
Proud  Mary keep on burnin,


    D
Roll - in,  rollin,  rollin on the river.
