[Verse 1]
D     Esus4
 I am Jeremiah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy
                                     G           C  G
Glass of wine with you sir and the ladies I'll enjoy
    D               G C
All Durham and Northumberland
D              G     C  G D
is measured up by my own   hand
       G       C
It was my fate from birth
                  D
to make my mark upon the earth

[Verse 2]
Esus4
He   calls me Charlie Mason,
a stargazer am I
                            G            C
It seems that I was born to chart the evening sky
D                 G     C
They'd cut me out for baking bread
    D      G           C
But I had other dreams instead
D                     G        C
This baker's boy from the west country
                         D
Would join the Royal Society

[Chorus]
   G          D      Esus4   C
We are sailing to Philadelphia
        Bm        Am        D   Bm
A world away from the coaly Tyne
               Esus4  C
Sailing to Philadelphia
           D
To draw the line

[Post-Chorus]
C        D   G Esus4 G Esus4 D
The Mason Dixon               Line

[Verse 3]
           Esus4
Now you're a    good surveyor Dixon,
but I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both,
G                C  G D
you gullible Geordie   lad
         G    C
You talk of liberty
D            G  C G
How can America be free
D               G C
A Geordie and a baker's boy
                       D
In the forests of the Iroquois

[Verse 4]
Esus4
Now  hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
                               G             C
The morning tide has raised the capes of Delaware
        G       C  D
Come up and fee the sun
         G       C
A new morning is begun
D           G         C
Another day will make it clear
                           D
Why your star should guide us here

[Chorus]
   G          D       Esus4  C
We are sailing to Philadelphia
        Bm        Am        D   Bm
A world away from the coaly Tyne
               Esus4  C
Sailing to Philadelphia
           D
To draw the line
C        D   C G
The Mason Dixon Line
C        D   G Esus4 G
The Mason Dixon
