[@jimaiello750]

John Fogerty of CCR sued The Hollies claiming the chords were a rip-off of the CCR song Green River. That might be where the confusion comes from.

We lived in the country and whenever the folks would go somewhere we'd pipe that puppy up and one day Mom came home from helping out in the field because she could hear it all 3 miles away and thought something was wrong with the tractor!! We were always getting chewed for that! But oh how that sounded so good!!!😂❤😮Sweet Memories!!! 😍!!!!
