I didn't tab this song myself, so no credit should be given to me, but I saw
there were only 2 (wrong) version on this site, so I decided to put this one on.
I've got this tab from creedence-online.com, so it should be correct.

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 on a river boat queen.
