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

2nd verse: 
 
D 
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 
                       A                                 Bm 
on a river boat queen. Big wheel a-keep on turnin,  Proud  Mary keep on 
 
burnin', 
 
Riff 3 right after burnin'
