  1. I am Jeremiah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy,

  

                                                                  G                C

  

      a glass of wine with you, sir , and the ladies I'll enjoy.

  

             D                         G       C            D                      G           C

  

      All Durham and Northumberland is measured up by my own hand,

  

  D                  G             C          Em                                 D       ~

  

      it was my fate from birth to make my mark upon the earth.

  2. 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          D                     G            C

  

      They'd cut me out for baking bread, but I had other dreams instead,

  

              D                               G             C           Em                           D ~

  

      this baker's boy from the west country would join the Royal Society.

  We are sailing      to Philadelphia,      world away from the coaly Tyne,

  

   Bm                  Em   C  - Em                  D              C     - D             G

                            Em

  

  3. Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon, but I swear you'll make me mad,

  

                                                      G                       C

  

      the West will kill us both, you gullible Geordie lad. 

  

  D                   G     C           D             G        C

  

      You talk of liberty, how can America be free ?

  

             D                   G          C            Em                        D    ~

  

      A Geordie and a baker's boy in the forests of the Iroquois.

  

   

  

              Em

  

  4. Now hold your head up, Mason, see America lies there, 

  

                                                          G                     C

  

      the morning tide has raised, the capes of Delaware. 

  

  D                          G          C    - D                       G       C

  

       Come up and feel the sun,     a new morning is begun,

  

          D                      G          C      Em                                             D   ~

  

      another day will make it clear, why your stars should guide us here.

  

   

  

                G      - D              Em  C  - G              Bm                Am    D

          C     - D            Am   - D          C      - D            G

  

  the Mason    - Dixon Line,      the Mason     -Dixon Line
