[Verse 1]
    E                       A
I'm tired of this dirty old city.
  E                                     B
Entirely too much work and never enough play.
     E                          A
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks.
         E              B              E
Think I'll walk off my steady job today.

[Chorus]
E                           A                            E
Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.
                                B
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
    E                            A                  E
And keep your retirement and your so called social security.
                 B                   E
Big City turn me loose and set me free.

[Verse 2]
      E                            A
Been workin' everyday since I was twenty.
  E                                            B
Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done.
         E                                    A
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty.
            E                  B           E
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun. So

[Chorus]
E                           A                             E
Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.
                                B
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
    E                            A                  E
And keep your retirement and your so called social security.
                 B                   E
Big City turn me loose and set me free.

[Outro]
                        B                E
Hey,  Big City turn me loose and set me free.
