[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# A#m C#
Some things are always bound to change
F# G# C#
There is no ash will burn
[Chorus]
F# G# C#
Love is a precious thing I'm told
F# G# C#
Burns just like West Virginia coal
F# G# A#m C#
But when the fire dies down it's cold__
F# G# C#
There is no ash will burn
[Verse 2]

You say this life is not your lot
F# G# C#
Well, I can't be something that I'm not
F# G# A#m C#
F# G# C#
There is no ash will burn
[Chorus]
F# G# C#
Love is a precious thing I'm told
F# G# C#
Burns just like West Virginia coal
F# G# A#m C#
But when the fire dies down it's cold__
F# G# C#
There is no ash will burn

[Verse 3]
F# G# C#
In every life there comes a time
F# G# C#
Where there are no more tears to cry

We must leave something dear behind__
F# G# C#
There is no ash will burn
[Chorus]
F# G# C#
Love is a precious thing I'm told

Burns just like West Virginia coal
F# G# A#m C#
But when the fire dies down it's cold__

There is no ash will burn

There is one lesson I have learned
F# G# C#
There is no ash will burn
