Green fields and rolling hills

Room enough to do what we will

Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind
    Bb11             Bb7
Of a place I left behind, 
Chorus

Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again.

Been so long, I'm living till then
        Fm7                     Ab7M

I go back again. 
Verse 2
Though I'm content with myself
Sometimes I long to be somewhere else
I try to do what I can, but with our day to day demands
We all need a promised land.

Chorus 2
Been so long,I can't remember when
I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm living till then
'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
I go back again.

Oh I want to be there in the wintertime
       Ab7M               Fm7
With a fireplace burning to warm me

And you to hold me when it's stormy
Chorus 3

Been so long, I can't remember when
I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm living till then.
'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
I go back again.
