Sailing To Philadelphia - Mark Knopfler | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
F#sus4 | A | F#sus4 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E     F#sus4
 I am Jeremiah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy
                                     A           D  A
Glass of wine with you sir and the ladies I'll enjoy
    E               A D
All Durham and Northumberland
E              A     D  A E
is measured up by my own   hand
       A       D
It was my fate from birth
                  E
to make my mark upon the earth

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F#sus4
He   calls me Charlie Mason, a stargazer am I
                            A            D
It seems that I was born to chart the evening sky
E                 A     D
They'd cut me out for baking bread
    E      A           D
But I had other dreams instead
E                     A        D
This baker's boy from the west country
                         E
Would join the Royal Society

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
   A          E      F#sus4  D
We are sailing to Philadelphia
        C#m       Bm        E   C#m
A world away from the coaly Tyne
               F#sus4 D
Sailing to Philadelphia
           E
To draw the line

[Post-Chorus]
---------------------
D        E   A F#sus4 A F#sus4 E
The Mason Dixon               Line

[Verse 3]
---------------------
           F#sus4
Now you're a    good surveyor Dixon,
but I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both,
A                D  A E
you gullible Geordie   lad
         A    D
You talk of liberty
E            A  D A
How can America be free
E               A D
A Geordie and a baker's boy
                       E
In the forests of the Iroquois

[Verse 4]
---------------------
F#sus4
Now  hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
                               A             D
The morning tide has raised the capes of Delaware
        A       D  E
Come up and fee the sun
         A       D
A new morning is begun
E           A         D
Another day will make it clear
                           E
Why your star should guide us here

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   A          E       F#sus4 D
We are sailing to Philadelphia
        C#m       Bm        E   C#m
A world away from the coaly Tyne
               F#sus4 D
Sailing to Philadelphia
           E
To draw the line
D        E   D A
The Mason Dixon Line
D        E   A F#sus4 A
The Mason Dixon
