Verse 1:
    
 F                       
 Bb
I'm tired of this dirty old city.
  
 F                                     
 C
Entirely too much work and never enough play.
     
 F                          
 Bb
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks.
         
 F              
 C              
 F
Think I'll walk off my steady job today.

Chorus:

 F                           
 Bb                            
 F
Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montanna.
                                
 C
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
    
 F                            
 Bb                  
 F
And keep your retirement and your so called social security.
                 
 C                   
 F
Big City turn me loose and set me free.

Verse 2:

Been working everyday since I was twenty.
Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done.
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty.
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun.

Chorus
