Just the chords, because I can't quite make out all of the solo, but once
you know what the chords are, it's not too hard.

This is the whole chord progression:

C majorC 	D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD	G+G 	C majorC	G+G	E MajorE	E7E7	E MajorE	E7E7


Put it with the words and it sounds like this

C majorC    D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Last night,
G+G       C majorC    G+G  E MajorE     E7E7 E MajorE  E7E7
I saw the fire burning ....
C majorC    D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
O'er the ....
G+G        C majorC      G+G  E MajorE    E7E7 E MajorE  E7E7
Humble subjects watched ....
C majorC       D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Who is ....
G+G   C majorC  Am7Am7 E MajorE    E7E7 E MajorE E7E7
Who is burning ....
(repeat that line again)

By far, my favorite CCR song. It just kicks.

NOTE:You could play the second G+G as a G/BG/B (x20003). It sounds pretty good
that way, and might actually be the way it goes. But I wouldn't know :)
