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.]

RHYTHM GUITAR:

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

G G(9) C C(9) C
E 3---3-3---3-3-----3---3-3-3-3-3-|0---0-0---0-0-----0---0-0-0-0-0-|
B 0---0-0---0-0-----0---0-0-0-0-0-|1---1-1---1-1-----1---1-1-1-1-1-|

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.
