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
