F# minorF#m
I am Jeremiah Dixon
F# minorF#m
I am a Geordie boy
F# minorF#m
A augmentedA glass of wine with you, sir
	 A augmentedA	   D MajorD
And the ladies I'll enjoy
  E MajorE		  A augmentedA 	 D MajorD
All Durham and Northumberland
  E MajorE		 A augmentedA    D MajorD  	A augmentedA
Is measured up by my own hand
E MajorE	  A augmentedA	   D MajorD
It was my fate from birth
D MajorD			 E MajorE
To make my mark upon the earth...

  F# minorF#m
He calls me Charlie Mason
F# minorF#m
A augmentedA stargazer am I
F# minorF#m
It seems that I was born
  A augmentedA		   D MajorD
To chart the evening sky
	E MajorE	    A augmentedA    D MajorD
They'd cut me out for baking bread
  E MajorE       A augmentedA    D MajorD
But I had other dreams instead
   E MajorE			  A augmentedA     D MajorD
This baker's boy from the west country
D MajorD			  E MajorE
Would join the Royal Society...


	A augmentedA    E MajorE 	F# minorF#m  D MajorD
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A augmentedA     E MajorE      BbmBbm  E MajorE
A augmentedA world away from the coaly Tyne
 C# minorC#m	   F# minorF#m   D MajorD
Sailing to Philadelphia
F# minorF#m     E MajorE
To draw the line
  D MajorD   E MajorE   A augmentedA
A majorA Mason-Dixon Line

A augmentedA F# minorF#m A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE

F# minorF#m
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
F# minorF#m
But I swear you'll make me mad
F# minorF#m
The West will kill us both
   A augmentedA		   D MajorD
You gullible Geordie lad
  E MajorE	   A augmentedA  D MajorD
You talk of liberty
   E MajorE    A augmentedA   D MajorD
How can America be free
  E MajorE       A augmentedA    D MajorD
A augmentedA Geordie and a baker's boy
    D MajorD         E MajorE
In the forests of the Iroquois...


F# minorF#m
Now hold your head up, Mason
F# minorF#m
See America lies there
F# minorF#m
The morning tide has raised
   A augmentedA      D MajorD
The capes of Delaware
E MajorE	   A augmentedA    D MajorD
Come up and feel the sun
E MajorE   A augmentedA       D MajorD
A augmentedA new morning has begun
 E MajorE		 A augmentedA    D MajorD
Another day will make it clear
 D MajorD				E MajorE
Why your stars should guide us here...


	A augmentedA    E MajorE 	F# minorF#m  D MajorD

A augmentedA world away from the coaly Tyne
