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


A
Big wheel keep on turnin' 

G
Proud Mary keep on burnin' 

D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 


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 
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen 


A
Big wheel keep on turnin' 

G
Proud Mary keep on burnin' 

D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 


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


A
Big wheel keep on turnin' 

G
Proud Mary keep on burnin' 

D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
