LAND OF CANAAN (Amy Ray)
 ------------------------
 [Amy uses 320003 and x32010 for G and C; Emily plays 320033 and 332010.
  Amy also plays a very brief D chord sometimes between G and C (but not
  between C and G); I can't even hear it in the recording, but I saw her
  do it in concert.]

 [intro]
 
 G                C
  You can go to east to find your
 G                  C
  Your inner hemisphere
 G                         C
  You say we're under the same sky babe
            G                    C
  Don't you realize, honey it's not that clear
 G                       C
  I'm not your promised land, honey you know that I'm not
 G                       C
  I'm not your promised one
 
 D                      D
  I'm not the land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart
 D                          D
  Waiting for you under the sun
 
                G                      C
  I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
                     G                      C
  I'm wanting your love and your giving it out
                G                   C
  I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight
                G                 C
  I'm lonely tonight, oooooh ooh, ooh yeah
 
 Well the meaning's changed for what it's worth
 It's just a senseless game
 Well I should think of love, but it's fear
 Every time I hear, honey, your heartbeart strain
 It's not the fallen man, honey you know that it's not
 It's not the call of time
 
 It's just the London skyline, oh sweetheart
 Telling me you're not mine
 
 I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
 I'm wanting your love and your giving it out
 I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight
 I'm lonely tonight, oooooh ooh, ooh yeah
 
 G  C  G  C    G  C  G  C    D  D  D  D    G  C  G  C
 [guitar solo]
 
 My blood is running dry, my skin is
 My skin is growing thin, oh yeah
 For every time you find yourself
 You lose a little of me, and honey it's from within
 It's just a raging cycle
 Why can't we bring it on to the end of the line, tell me baby
 
 From inside this existence, oh sweetheart
 Time is not on my side
 
 I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
 I'm wanting your love and your giving it out
 I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight
 I'm lonely tonight, oooooh ooh, ooh yeah
 I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one
 I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one
 
 I'm not the land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart
 I'm not your land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart
 I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart
 Waiting for you under the sun
               C - G/B - G/A   G.
 I'm lonely tonight

 RHYTHM GUITAR:
 
 Here's Amy's strumming pattern, roughly.  I think the (9)'s are actually
 scattered more or less randomly throughout the song.

 LEAD GUITAR SOLO:
 
 I can take no credit for figuring this out; someone mailed it to me in
 standard tablature form, and I just typed it up into e-mailable text.
 So any mistakes are not my fault (although if you spot any, let me know,
 and I'll fix them).  Sorry about the T,E,W thing; if you can find a
 better way to do it (while preserving the timing), let me know!
 
 Symbols:
    =    hammer-on or pull-off
    /    slide up
    \    slide down
  T,E,W  (T)enth, (E)leventh, t(W)elfth fret; I did this so that I could
              notate the high frets with single characters.
   ^ .   These are timing markers; each ^ is a quarter note.
