Toby Keith - I Can’t Be A Slave

[Intro]
C Dm7 G

[Verse 1]
C
Remember how we laughed, remember how we played
C7 Dm7
Remember all the lessons we learned along the way
G C
You were more than my brother, you were my friend

[Verse 2]
C
Remember when the prince turned in his tainted crown
C7 Dm7
And left in search of freedom while you just stayed around
G C
You were still my brother, you were still my friend

[Chorus]
G C Bb C
Now I’m standing on a rock, lookin’ at the sea
F Fm
Wonderin from this moment, if I’ll ever be free
C G C
You never understood me, but I can’t be a slave

[Bridge]
G Am G
Oh, and I don’t wanna tell you how to run your life
F C
That’s not what I came back to do
Am G
But I have felt the power, I have seen the light
F Fm
And it’s bigger than me, and it’s bigger than you

[Verse 3]
C
Remember when this world seemed like a perfect place
C7 Dm7
And I stood and watched your kingdom take it’s fall from grace
G C
Will you still be my brother, will you still be my friend

[Chorus]
G C Bb C
Now I’m standing on a rock, lookin’ at the sea
F Fm
Knowing from this moment I’ll always be free
C G C
You never did forgive me, but I can’t be a slave
F Fm C
You never did forgive me, I can’t be slave

[Outro]
C Dm7 G C
