Play on a C harp

7     7   -6  6    -5  6 -66  6 -5
I'm tired of this dirt-y old cit-y.
-4   4   4 -5   -5   -6
En-tire-ly too much work 
4    4  4 -5   -5   6
and nev-er e-nough play.
-6  -67  7    -6   6    -5  6 -66 6 -5  -5
And I'm tired of these dirt-y old side-walks.
-5     -4   4   -5  -5   5  -5  6  -5 -5
Think I'll walk off my stead-y job to-day.

-6   7    7    -6  6 -56-5
Turn me loose, set me free, 
-4    -5   -5 -4  -5  -5  -5 -6  -5  4
Some-where in the mid-dle of Mon-tan-a.
4   -5  -6  7   -6   6   5  -5  -5 6
And gim-me all I’ve got com-in' to me,
-67   7   -6  6   -5   -6
And keep your re-tire-ment 
-4   -4  -5   -5   -5  6   -6 -5 -4 4
and your so called so-cial se-cur-i-ty.
7    7  7  -7 -66   6-5  5   -6 6-5  -5   
Big Cit-y turn me loose and set me free.

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.

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