[Verse] I'm F#m Jeremiah Dixon I am a Geordie boy A glass of wine with you, sir And the A D E A D E A ladies I'll enjoy All Durham and Northumberland Is measured up by my own D E A D Dmaj7 Eadd9 hand It was my fate from birth To make my mark upon the earth F#m He calls me Charlie Mason A stargazer am I It seems that I was born A D E A D To chart the evening sky They'd cut me out for baking bread E A D E A D But I had other dreams instead This baker's boy from the west country Dmaj7 Eadd9 Would join the Royal Society... [Chorus] A E F#m D A We are sailing to Philadelphia C#m Bm E A world away from the coaly Tyne C#m F#m D F#m Sailing to Philadelphia E To draw the line D E A A Mason-Dixon Line

[Verse] F#m Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon But I swear you'll make me mad A D E A D The West will kill us both You gullible Geordie lad You talk of liberty E A D E A D How can America be free A Geordie and a baker's boy Dmaj7 Eadd9 In the forests of the Iroquois... F#m Now hold your head up, Mason See America lies there A D E A The morning tide has raised The capes of Delaware Come up and feel the D E A D E A D sun A new morning has begun Another day will make it clear Dmaj7 Eadd9 Why your stars should guide us here... [Chorus] A E F#m D A We are sailing to Philadelphia C#m Bm E A world away from the coaly Tyne C#m F#m D F#m Sailing to Philadelphia E To draw the line D E A A Mason-Dixon Line
