_ Little bookshop in the city, _ _ working for the man every night and day.
And I never lost a minute of sleep, worrying about the way things might have been.
_ [A] _ We'll keep on pointing, _ _ [Bm] proud Mary, keep on pointing. _
_ [D] Rolling, _ _ rolling, _ _ rolling on the river. _ _
_ Seen a lot of plates in Memphis, _ _ pumping a lot of paint down in New Orleans.
But I never saw the good side of the city, till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen.
[A] _ We'll keep on pointing, _ [Bm] _ proud Mary, keep on pointing.
_ [D] _ Rolling, _ _ rolling, _ rolling on the river. _ _

_ you come down to the river, _ bet you're gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry, you have no money.
People on the river are happy to kill.
_ [A] We'll keep on pointing, _ _ [Bm] proud Mary, keep on pointing. _
_ [D] Rolling, _ _ rolling, _ _ rolling on the river. _ _
