Proud Mary tab
Proud Mary is written by John Fogerty, like the wast majority of Creedence Clearwater Revival's songs. The song was a single from the band's second album "Bayou Country". Both the record and the single was released in early 1969. John Fogerty plays the lead guitar and his brother Tom Fogerty plays the rhythm guitar. Use these guitar tabs to master their style. Fogerty wrote the famous chords and riff while he was fooling around with the riff from Beethoven's fifth symphony!
Proud Mary has been covered by numerous artists and bands. There were over 30 cover versions released in 1969 alone!
