Tuning: EADGBE **CAPO 3RD FRET**

  **Note that there are actually two guitars playing in this song but here is 
       the lead guitar tab that John Fogerty actually plays with a capo on the
       3rd fret . If you'd like to know, the other guitar plays with a capo on 
       the 1st fret and plays D-G-A chords to go along. A fill at the bottom 
       of the page for the 2nd guitar. 
  
INTRO: play with some soul. hand-slap the guitar a little or something to  
           give it some beat.
