Left a good job in the cit-y,
6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
Work-in' for The Man ev'ry night and day,
6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -6 -6 -6 6 -5
And I nev-er lost one min-ute of sleep-in',
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
Wor-ry-in' 'bout the way

things might have been.
CHORUS:
6 6 6 6 6 -6
Big wheel keep on turn-in',
-6 6 -5 6 -5 -5 -4
Proud Ma-ry keep on burn-in',
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 5
Roll-in', roll-in', roll-in' on the riv-er.
verse 2.
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,
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
CHORUS-
verse 3.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
CHORUS
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 -5
Roll-in', roll-in', roll-in' on the riv-er.
REPEAT 2X
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
