[Verse 1]
F#madd11
I am Jeremiah Dixon
F#madd11
I am a Geordie boy
F#madd11
A glass of wine with you, sir
A D Dmaj7/A
And the ladies I'll enjoy
E A D Dadd9/A
All Durham and Northumberland
E A D Dmaj7/A
Is measured up by my own hand
E A D Dadd9/A
It was my fate from birth
Dmaj7/A E Eadd9
To make my mark upon the earth...
[Verse 2]
F#madd11
He calls me Charlie Mason
F#madd11
A stargazer am I
F#madd11
It seems that I was born
A D Dmaj7/A
To chart the evening sky
E A D Dadd9/A
They'd cut me out for baking bread
E A D Dmaj7/A
But I had other dreams instead
E A D Dadd9/A
This baker's boy from the west country
Dmaj7/A E Eadd9
Would join the Royal Society...
[Chorus]
A E F#m D/A
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A C#m Bm E
A world away from the coaly Tyne
C#m F#m D/A F#m
Sailing to Philadelphia
F#m/A E
To draw the line
D/A E Aadd9
A Mason-Dixon Line
[Interlude]
| F#madd11 | F#madd11 | Aadd9 | Aadd9 |
| F#madd11 | F#madd11 | Eadd9 | E |
[Verse 3]
F#madd11
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
F#madd11
But I swear you'll make me mad
F#madd11
The West will kill us both
A D Dmaj7/A
You gullible Geordie lad
E A D Dadd9/A
You talk of liberty
E A D Dmaj7/A
How can America be free
E A D Dadd9/A
A Geordie and a baker's boy
Dmaj7 E Eadd9
In the forests of the Iroquois...
[Verse 4]
F#madd11
Now hold your head up, Mason
F#madd11
See America lies there
F#madd11
The morning tide has raised
A D Dmaj7/A
The capes of Delaware
E A D Dadd9/A
Come up and feel the sun
E A D Dmaj7/A
A new morning has begun
E A D Dadd9/A
Another day will make it clear
Dmaj7 Eadd9
Why your stars should guide us here...
[Chorus]
A E F#m D
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A C#m Bm E
A world away from the coaly Tyne
C#m F#m D/A F#m
Sailing to Philadelphia
F#m/A E
To draw the line
D/F# E/G# D/A A
A Mason-Dixon Line
D/A E Aadd9
A Mason-Dixon Line
