Together

E(And we) Rolling, rolling, rolling on a river - Listen to the story now

ELeft a good job (down) in the city,

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been

B C#m ABig wheel a-keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'

EAnd we're rollin' (rolling), rollin' (rolling), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)

ECleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

(And I) Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

(Un)til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

B C#m A(You know that) Big wheels keep on turnin', ooh the Proud Mary keep on burnin'

EAnd we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' yeah (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)

Slow down

E A ESaid we're rollin' (rollin'), rollin' (rollin'), rollin' on the river (rolling on the river)

(faster until the end of the song)
