[Verse 1]
F G C
I have seen snow that fell in May
F G C
And I have seen rain on cloudless days
F G Am
Somethings are always bound to change
F G C
There ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
F G C
Love is a precious thing I'm told
F G C
It burns just like West Virginia coal
F G Am
But when the fire dies down it's cold
F G C
There ain't no ash will burn
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
F G C
You say this life is not your lot
F G C
Well I can't be someone that I'm not
F G Am
We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
F G C
There ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
F G C
Love is a precious thing I'm told
F G C
It burns just like West Virginia coal
F G Am
But when the fire dies down it's cold
F G C
There ain't no ash will burn
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
F G C
In every life there comes a time
F G C
Where there are no more tears to cry
F G Am
We must leave something dear behind
F G C
There ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
F G C
Love is a precious thing I'm told
F G C
It burns just like West Virginia coal
F G Am
But when the fire dies down it's cold
F G C
There ain't no ash will burn
[Outro]
