Intro: [Am]–[C]-[Am]–[G] (2 bars each chord)
I am [C] Jeremiah Dixon, [Am] I am a Geordie boy,
a glass of wine with you, sir , and the [C] ladies I'll en-[F]joy.
All [G] Durham and North[C]-umber[F]-land is [G] measured up by [C] my own [F] hand,
it [G] was my [C] fate from [F] birth to make my mark up[Am]on the [G] earth.
{c: }
He calls me Charlie [Am] Mason, a stargazer am I,
it seems that I was born to [C] chart the evening [F] sky.
They'd [G] cut me out for [C] baking [F] bread, but [G] I had other [C] dreams in-[F]stead,
this [G] baker's boy from the [F] west country would join the Royal [Am] Soci[G]ety.
{c: }
We are [C] sailing [G] to [Am] Phila-[F]delphia,
[C] world a-[Em]way from the [Dm] coaly [G] Tyne,
[Em] sailing to [G] Phila-[Am]delphia
[F] to draw the [G] line, the [F] Mason [G] Dixon [C] Line.

[Am]–[C]-[Am]-[G] (2 bars each chord)
{c: }
Now you're a [Am] good surveyor, Dixon, but I swear you'll make me mad,
the [F] West will kill us both, you [C] gullible Geordie [F] lad.
[G] You talk of li-[C]ber-[F]ty, how can A-[G]meri-[C]ca be [F]free ?
A [G] Geordie and a [C] baker's [F] boy in the forests of the [Am] Ira-[G]quois.
{c: }
Now [Am] hold your head up, Mason, see America lies there,
the morning tide has raised, the [C] capes of Dela-[F]ware
[G] Come up and [C] feel the [F] sun, [G] a new morning [C] is be-[F]gun,
[G] another day will [C] make it [F] clear, [Am] why your stars should guide us [G] here.
{c: }
We are [C] sailing [G] to [Am] Phila-[F]delphia,
[C] world a[Em]way from the [Dm] coaly [G] Tyne,
[Em] sailing to Phila-[Am] delphia [F] [Am] to draw the [G] line,
The [F] Mason [G] Dixon [C] Line.
The [F] Mason [G] Dixon [C] Line.
