2nd verse:

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, till I hitched a 
ride
                       A                                 Bm
on a river boat queen. Big wheel a-keep on turnin,  Proud  Mary keep on

burnin',
