"Effigy" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
from the album Willy and the Poorboys--1969
transribed hastily (too hastily, since I got it wrong and had to fix it) 
by Patrick Glass (patrick@spy.net)

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 	D   Dsus4 D	G 	C	G	E	E7	E	E7


Put it with the words and it sounds like this

C        D   Dsus4 D
Last night, 	
G              C       G    E          E7 E    E7
I saw the fire burning ....
C        D   Dsus4 D
O'er the ....
G               C            G   E       E7 E   E7
Humble subjects watched ....
C              D Dsus4 D
Who is ....
G      C   Am7 E        E7 E  E7
Who is burning ....
(repeat that line again)

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

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