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:

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

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...
