     Am

                                 C               F    
A glass of wine with you sir and the ladies I'll enjoy
G              F              G                      F       
All Durham and Northumberland ■ is measured up by my own hand

It was my fate from birth to make my mark upon the earth
Am                                        
He calls me Charlie Mason a stargazer am I

It seems that I was born to chart the evening sky
G                     C      F    
They'd cut me out for baking bread
Am       G         C      F       C
■  But I had other dreams instead ■
G                         F                                 G

[Verse]
           Am                   
Now you're a good surveyor Dixon
      Am                   
But I swear you make me mad
                               C                F  
The West will kill us both you gullible Geordie lad
G           C       F
You talk of liberty ■
G                  F   
How can America be free

A Geordie and a baker's boy in the forest of the Iroquois
        Am                                            
And now hold your head up Mason see America lies there
                                C        F       
The morning tide has raised the capes of Delaware
G           C        F  
Come up and feel the sun
      G       C   F    
A new morning has begun
G                F                      Fmaj7                 G   
Another day will make it clear why your stars should guide us here
