I'm
                             F#5       
Jeremiah Dixon I am a Geordie boy A glass of wine with you, sir And the
A5            D5         E5               A5    D5            E5              A5
ladies I'll enjoy  All Durham and Northumberland Is measured up by my own
D5        E5       A5          D5      D5                E5
hand  It was my fate from birth To make my mark upon the earth
F#5
He calls me Charlie Mason A stargazer am I It seems that I was born
A5                 D5         E5                     A5     D5
To chart the evening sky They'd cut me out for baking bread
 E5                 A5      D5      E5                   A5          D5
But I had other dreams instead This baker's boy from the west country
  D5                E5 
Would join the Royal Society...

Chorus:
       A5       E5          F#5       D5    A5
We are sailing    to Philadelphia
         C#5          B5        E5
A world away from the coaly Tyne
C#5             F#5       D5     F#5
Sailing to Philadelphia 
                 E5  
To draw the line
  D5    E5      A5
A Mason-Dixon Line

F#5
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon But I swear you'll make me mad
                                         A5       D5    E5        A5     D5
The West will kill us both You gullible Geordie lad You talk of liberty
E5                A5   D5   E5                A5      D5
How can America be free A Geordie and a baker's boy
D5                E5 
In the forests of the Iroquois...
F#5
Now hold your head up, Mason See America lies there
                                  A5         D5       E5          A5        
The morning tide has raised The capes of Delaware Come up and feel the 
D5    E5             A5    D5     E5                A5       D5
sun A new morning has begun Another day will make it clear
D5                E5 
Why your stars should guide us here...
