Merle Haggard - Big city

I'm ^Etired of this ^E7dirty old ^Acity. En^Etirely too much work and never enough ^B7play. And I'm ^Etired of these d^E7irty old ^Asidewalks. Think I'll ^Ewalk off my s^B7teady job to^Eday.

^ETurn me loose, set me ^E7free, s^Aomewhere in the middle of Mon^Etanna. And gimme all I got comin' to ^B7me, And ^Ekeep your retirement and your ^Aso called social sec^Eurity. Big City turn me l^B7oose and set me ^Efree.

^EBeen working every^E7day since I was ^Atwenty. Haven't ^Egot a thing to show for anything I've ^B7done. There's ^Efolks who never ^E7work and they've got p^Alenty. Think it's t^Eime some guys like ^B7me had some f^Eun.

Big ^ECity turn me l^B7oose and set me ^Efree.
