Verse 1:

D
   Left a good job in the city,

D
   Working for The Man every night and day,

D
   And I never lost one minute of sleeping,

D
   Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.

   A
   Big wheel keep on turning,

   Bm
   Proud Mary keep on burning,

Verse 2:

D
   Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,

D
   Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,

D
   But I never saw the good side of the city,

D
   Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

   A
   Big wheel keep on turning,

   Bm
   Proud Mary keep on burning,

Great song and a great tab. Sounds perfect to me. I played along with the record and it was just on. Great job!

The intro is perfect but the song is played in G where you have it in D
