  			Verse 
        G         D 
  I was on that train 
Em             C 
  To the border town 
        G         D 
  I was on that train 
       C        D 
  I was freedom bound 
        G         D 
  I was on that train 
           Em      C 
  When the trestle fell 
G            D 
  No arms to hold me 
       C           D 
  As I said my farewell 


Chorus 
       G        D        Em       C 
Do you see that dove who flies to me? 
        G       D           C        D 
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep? 


Verse 
          G             D 
Where the Mackinaw river 
  Em            C 
Meets the great Illinois 
G               D 
There I gave my love 
     C        D 
To a low-born boy 
      G           D 
I was lost in the light 
     Em            C 
Of a flame burning wild 
     G          D 
When I felt the stirring of 
  C            D 
A star-crossed child 


Chorus 
       G        D        Em       C 
Do you see that dove who flies to me? 
        G       D           C        D 
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep? 


Verse 
           G      D 
  Well the burden grew 
Em               C 
  And we planned our escape 
         G        D 
  He said, I will meet you 
          C             D 
  Up that North Country way 
        G           D 
  I was just past Eureka 
           Em           C 
  When the engine broke free 
       G       D 
  I am gone to God 
         C           D 
  And my burden with me 


Chorus 
       G        D        Em       C 
Do you see that dove who flies to me? 
        G       D           C        D 
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep? 

       G        D        Em       C 
Do you see that dove who flies to me? 
        G       D           C        D 
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?
