I Will Not Be Broken
Bonnie Raitt
Album: Souls Alike
This is all my own work. I am a keyboard player so I don’t know if
guitar chart is in different key with capo applied or not. Any
mistakes, make corrections.
Bb C Bb
That was then and this is now
Bb C Bb
Found my way back here somehow.
Bb C Bb
Knew you’d have to let me go
Bb C F
I told you once, I told you so
F Gm F/A Bb F
take me down, you can hold me but you can’t hold what’s within
F Gm F/A Bb C
roll me ’round, push me to the limit maybe I may bend
Dm Bb
but I know where I’m not going
F
I will not be broken
Bbm/Eb
I will not be broken
Bb C Bb
I will not be someone other than who I am
C Bb
I will fight to make my stand
C Bb
’cause what is living if I can’t live free
C F
what is freedom if I can’t be me
F Gm F/A Bb F
take me down, you can hold me but you can’t hold what’s within
F Gm F/A Bb C
roll me ’round, push me to the limit maybe I may bend
Dm Bb
but I know where I’m not going
F
I will not be broken
Bbm/Eb
I will not be broken
Bdim Bb
I won’t let you near it
Bdim F/C
I will let my spirit fly
Dm/B
Fly
Bbm
High Oh take me down
take me down, you can hold me but you can’t hold what’s within
roll me ’round, push me to the limit
maybe I may bend
but we both know where I’m not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
