D

 

[Verse 1]

                         A

I’m tired of this dirty old city.

                                     G

Entirely too much work and never enough play.

                             A

And I’m tired of these dirty old sidewalks.

                     G              D

Think I’ll walk off my steady job today.

 

[Chorus]

                         A                            D

Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.

                                G

And gimme all I got comin’ to me,

                              A                  D

And keep your retirement and your so called social security.

                 G                   D

Big City turn me loose and set me free.

[Verse 2]

                                A

Been workin’ everyday since I was twenty.

                                            G

Haven’t got a thing to show for anything I’ve done.

                                           A

There’s folks who never work and they’ve got plenty.

                            G           D

Think it’s time some guys like me had some fun. So

 

[Chorus]

                         A                             D

Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.

                                G

And gimme all I got comin’ to me,

And keep your retirement and your so called social security.

Big City turn me loose and set me free.
