Creedence Clearwater Revival, frequently referred to as CCR or simply Creedence, was an American roots rock band, fronted by John Fogerty.  The band started out as The Blue Velvets, formed by John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook in El Cerrito, California, United States in the late 1950s. They were an instrumental trio, however during the early '60s they began backing Tom Fogerty, John's older brother, for school dances at El Cerrito High School, on fraternity house gigs and in the recording studio.

Creedence Clearwater Revival, nommé plus souvent par les initiales CCR ou simplement Creedence, est un groupe de rock (avec des influences blues et country) formé en 1967, originaire de Berkeley, dans la région de San Francisco, mais très influencé par la Louisiane. Ils seront actifs jusqu'en 1972. Le groupe est notamment connu pour des morceaux comme Born On The Bayou, Bayou Country, Mardi Gras, Fortunate Son ou encore Proud Mary.

Creedence Clearwater Revival (auch bekannt als CCR) war eine US-amerikanische Rockband der späten 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahre aus Berkeley, Kalifornien.  Bandgeschichte  Gründung - die frühen Jahre  Die Band begann als The Blue Velvets, gegründet Anfang 1959 von John Fogerty, seinem Bruder Tom und deren Schulfreund Doug Clifford in El Cerrito, Contra Costa County, Kalifornien. Fünf Monate später fand noch Stu Cook zu der Gruppe. Sie spielten gemeinsam auf Schulveranstaltungen und kleinen Festen, wobei ihr Repertoire im wesentlichen aus Instrumentalversionen der damaligen Hits bestand. 

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) fue una banda estadounidense de rock con gran aceptación mediática y popular a finales de los 60 y comienzos de los 70. El grupo estuvo integrado por el cantante, guitarrista principal y compositor John Fogerty, el guitarrista rítmico Tom Fogerty, el bajista Stu Cook y el batería Doug Clifford. El estilo musical de la CCR acompasaba el rock and roll y el género conocido como swamp rock. 

&quot;Fortunate Son&quot; was released as a single in late 1969. Songwriter John Fogerty intended the song as a protest against the Vietnam War. The song is critical of the fortunate sons of those in high places e.g. the political elite and/or the wealthy who are able to avoid the horrors of war for themselves or their relatives by benefiting from their privileged backgrounds.  Fogerty says that the song was indirectly inspired by David Eisenhower, the grandson of President Dwight David Eisenhower who married Julie Nixon, the daughter of President Richard Nixon in 1968.

A7 D
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man.

G D
Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
A7 D D7
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
G D
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;

She come to see the gov-nor, she wants to free her man.
Chorus
G D
If you&#8217;re ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;

You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all.

D				   G
Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side.
D				   G
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
D	     C	        G
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;
C		       A
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair;
D
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care.

A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King.
A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

D				   G
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound,
D					G
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down.
D		  C	 G
I turned away to see her, Woah! she caught my eye,
C			A
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
D
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last.

CHORUS

SOLO during D  C  G  C  A  D

D					 G
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
D					       G
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
D		 C      G
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high.
C			  A
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
D
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last.


Then repeat the chorus 3 times and fade out.

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F      C           Am     G
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat
F           C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush

(Verse)
Em              G                                     
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Licking up their lollipops
A           C
No one ever interrupts
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Playing with their teddy bears
A                 C      Em
talking 'bout the rising fares
Em              G                            
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Whistling to their favorite song
A                  C
Dancing, laughing, all night long
Em              G                             
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares 
D
Praying to the morning sun 
A                  C      Em
Talking with their golden tongue

(Pre-chorus)
      G            D      Em  
And I wished I was one of them
      G            D      Em
And I wished I was one of them

(Chorus)
    C                            G
I'd love to be a millionaire, I wished I had a golden mare
    D                                  Em
And I would waste my precious time, by looking for the perfect rime
C                           G
Life is easy, life is good, it would be like Hollywood
   D            C      Em
If I could be a millionaire

Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares

There was a wave, that killed 
             A            C
Them all and now the lollipops are gone
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares

Travelling to the Nowhere-Land

Where nasty pleasures never end

And I wished I was one of them 
      G            D      Em
And I wished I was one of them

(Bridge)
    Em          D               Em        D              Em           
Hey tell me how can it be, that money can set you free,  tell me

How can it be, that money can set you

Em          D               Em        D              Em
