[Verse]
    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.

      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.
