Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][G][G]
[D][D][A][A]
[D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm tired of this dirty [G]old city
En[D]tirely too much work
and never enough [A]play
And I [D]am tired
these dirty [G]old sidewalks
Think [D]I'll walk off my [A]steady job to[D]day

[Chorus 1]
Turn me [D]loose, set me free
[G]Somewhere in the middle of Mon[D]tana
And give me all I've got coming to [A]me
And [D]keep your retirement
And [G]your so-called social se[D]curity
Big City, turn me [A]loose and set me [D]free

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][G][G]
[D][D][A][A]
[D][D]

[Verse 2]
Been [D]working every day since I was [G]twenty
[D]Haven't got a thing to show
for anything I've [A]done
There's [D]folks who never work
and they've [G]got plenty
Think it's [D]time some guys like [A]me
had some [D]fun, so

[Chorus 2]
Turn me [D]loose, set me free
[G]Somewhere in the middle of Mon[D]tana
And give me all I've got coming to [A]me
And [D]keep your retirement
And [G]your so-called social se[D]curity
Big City, turn me [A]loose and set me [D]free
Hey, Big City, turn me [A]loose and set me [D]free
