"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)

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:

CC Piano Chord 
 	DD Piano Chord 
   Dsus4 DD Piano Chord 
	GG Piano Chord 
 	CC Piano Chord 
	GG Piano Chord 
	EE Piano Chord 
	E7E7 Piano Chord 
	EE Piano Chord 
	E7E7 Piano Chord 


Put it with the words and it sounds like this

CC Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 
   Dsus4 DD Piano Chord 

Last night,
GG Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 
    EE Piano Chord 
          E7E7 Piano Chord 
 EE Piano Chord 
    E7E7 Piano Chord 

I saw the fire burning on the palace door
CC Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 
   Dsus4 DD Piano Chord 

O'er the land,
GG Piano Chord 
               CC Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
   EE Piano Chord 
       E7E7 Piano Chord 
 EE Piano Chord 
   E7E7 Piano Chord 

Humble subjects watched with mixed  emotion
CC Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 
 Dsus4 DD Piano Chord 

Who is burning
GG Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 
   Am7Am7 Piano Chord 
 EE Piano Chord 
        E7E7 Piano Chord 
 EE Piano Chord 
  E7E7 Piano Chord 

Who is burning the effigy
(repeat that line again)

And here are all the words for the song:

Last night, I saw the fire burning on the palace lawn
O'er the land, humble subjects watched with mixed emotion
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??

Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the palace door
Silent majority wasn't keeping quiet anymore
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??

Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the countryside
In the morning, few were left to watch the ashes die
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
Why? Why? Why? Effigy!

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 :)
