PORTERVILLE (JOHN'S VERSION) As recorded by John Fogerty (From the 2025 Album LEGACY: THE CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL YEARS) [Intro] E A E A E A E [Verse 1]
E                       A          E
It's been an awful long time since I been home

                             A         E
But you won't catch me going back down there alone

D                                     A                      E    A 
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung

E
(I don't care! I don't care!)

                          A             E         
They came and took my dad away to serve some time

                        A                E    
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind

D                               A                       E
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin

E
(I don't care! I don't care!)

[Chorus]
E
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

E
(I don't care! I don't care!)
[Interlude] E E E E [Verse 2]
E                           A      E
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence

                                 A       E
And you can guess that I've been running ever since

D                                      A                      E
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself

E
(I don't care! I don't care!)
[Guitar Solo] G D F C [Chorus]
E
(I don't care! I don't care!

E
I don't care! I don't care!)
[Outro]
D
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help

    A                      E
And I'll keep on, I tell myself

E
(I don't care! I don't care!

E
I don't care! I don't care!)

E
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

E
(I don't care! I don't care!)

E
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

E
(I don't care! I don't care!

E
I don't care! I don't care!

E
I don't care! I don't care!)

E
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

E
(I don't care! I don't care!

E
I don't care! I don't care!

E
I don't care! I don't care!)
