Do you remember the good years in Canaan?
Dm F Gm A7
The summers were endlessly gold
Em A Em A
The fields were a patchwork of clover
A A7 Dm A
The winters were never too cold
Dm F Dm G
We'd stroll down the boulevards together
D D7 Gm
And everything 'round us was fine
Jacob
Gm
Now the fields are dead and bare
Dm
No joie de vivre anywhere
A A7 Dm
Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine
Brothers
Dm F
Those Canaan days we used to know

Where have they gone, where did they go?
Gm Dm
Eh bien, raise your berets
A Dm
To those Canaan days

The splendour of Canaan's cuisine
Em A Em A
Our extravagant, elegant soirées
A A7 Dm A
The gayest the Bible has seen
Dm F Dm
It's funny, but, since we lost Joseph
D D7 Gm
We've gone to the other extreme
Gm
No-one comes to dinner now
Dm
We'd only eat them anyhow
A A7 Dm
I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams
Brothers

It's funny, but, since we lost Joseph
D D7 Gm
We've gone to the other extreme

Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Dm
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
A A7
And how we miss his entertaining
Dm
Dreams
Brothers

Those Canaan days we used to know

Where have they gone, where did--did they go?

Eh bien, raise your berets
