Intro
F5  Eb5  several times
Verse
F5   Bb5         Eb5
Green fields and rolling hills
F5   Bb5         Eb5
Room enough to do what we will
Ab5          G5      C5      F5
Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind
    Bb5             Bb5
Of a place I left behind, 
Chorus
Ab5              Eb5
Been so long, I can't remember when
     F5                  Bb5         Eb5
I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again.
  Ab5            Eb5
Been so long, I'm living till then
        F5                     Ab5  
Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until
 F5 Bb5   Eb5
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. 
Bridge
Ab5     Ab5                  C5
Oh I want to be there in the wintertime
       Ab5               F5
With a fireplace burning to warm me
    Bb5   Ab5   F5        Bb5
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.
