I [F#m] am Jeremiah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy
Glass of wine with you [A] sir and the ladies I'll [F#m] enjoy
[E] Old Durham [A] and Northumberland
[E] Is measured up by [D] my own hand
[F#m]
[E] It [A] was my fate [D] from birth
To make my mark [E] upon the earth
[F#m] He calls me Charlie Mason, a stargazer am [F#] I
It seems that I was born to chart [D] the evening sky
[E] They cut me [A] out for bacon [D] bread
[E] But I had other [D] dreams [F#m] instead
[E] This Baker's boy from [D] the West Country
[F#m] Would join the Royal [E] Society
[A] We are [E] sailing [F#m] to [D] Philadelphia

in the forest of [E] the Iroquois
[F#m] Now hold your head a Mason see America lies [F#] there
Morning tide is [A] raised the capes of [D] Delaware
[E] Come up and [D] feel the Sun
Are [E] you morning [D] is begun?
[E] Another day will [D] make it clear
Why your star should [E] guide us here
