 BIG CITY (Haggard - Holloway)
 Performed by Merle Haggard (1982)

     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
 
 
          E                     A                          E
 Turn me loose, set me free somewhere in the middle of Montana
                                    B
 And give me all I've got coming 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 |E |A |A |E |E |B |B |E |E |
 
 
        E                            A
 Been working 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
 
 
          E                     A                          E
 Turn me loose, set me free somewhere in the middle of Montana
                                    B
 And give me all I've got coming 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
                   B                E
 Big city turn me loose and set me free
