there's alot of this:

|-/16---16------16----------------------|
|---------------------------b(8)7--5----|

I'm still working on this one:

|---b2(2.5)-0-----0-b2(2.5)-0------|
|-2-----------2---------------2----|

You may not be able to play all these parts by yourself; I know I can't.  
Fogerty MUST have had multiple guitars/tracks doing them (that's my story and 
I'm sticking with it).

Tab notes:

--8b(9)--  play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach the
             pitch of fret nine
--b(9)8--  play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine,
             releasing until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight
-8b(8.5)-  play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach the
             pitch a half note higher than the normal pitch of fret eight
---15\---  play fret 15, slide down (the ending fret of the slide is
             undefined, judge by ear)
