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...
