CREEDANCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (1969) - Proud Mary
And we're rolling
rolling, rolling on the river
(listen to the story)
Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
I never lost one minute of sleepin'
worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
(straight in after chorus RIVER)
Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been
big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
rollin', rollin' on the river (wait for choir "on the river")
rollin rollin', rollin' on the river
---------------------------- WAIT FOR LOUD BIT AND STOP 8
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
I never saw the good side of the city
til I hitched a ride on the river boat queen
big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
chorus then 4
left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Alright 4
cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Alright
Straight in
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
She'll sit there all alone knowing there's no-one that can fill his shoes
And it's not just her tears falling
The whole music world's got the blues
And the saddest of all is
The thrill is gone
Lucille won't sing no more
Lucille won't sing no more
And the King is gone
Lucille won't sing no more
instrumental Break
He won't hold her in his hands
There's lonely silence in her strings
2 line Break for sad wailing guitar
And the saddest of all is
The thrill is gone
Lucille won't sing no more
Lucille won't sing no more
And the King is gone
Lucille won't sing no more
The thrill is gone
Lucille won't sing no more
Lucille won't sing no more
And the King is gone
Lucille won't sing no more
