{key:C}
I'm [C] tired of this [C7] dirty old [F] city.
I'm [C] tired of too much work and never enough [G7] play.
And I'm [C] tired of these [C7] dirty old [F] sidewalks.
Think I'll [C] walk off my [G7] steady job [C] today.
CHORUS - - -
Been [C] working every-[C7]day since I was [F] twenty.
Haven't [C] got a thing to show for anything I've [G7] done.
There's [C] folks who never [C7] work and they've got [F] plenty.
Think it's [C] time some guys like [G7] me had some [C] fun, so
CHORUS - - - [C] Turn me loose, set me [C7] free,
[F] somewhere in the middle of Mon-[C]tana.
And give me all I've got coming to [G7] me.
And [C] keep your retirement and your [F] so-called Social Se-[C]curity.
Big city turn me [G7] loose and set me [C] free.
Hey, big [C] city, turn me [G7] loose and set me [C] free.
