I have seen snow that fell in May
D# F A#
And I have seen rain on cloudless days

There is no ash will burn
[Chorus]

Love is a precious thing I'm told

Burns just like West Virginia coal
D# F Gm A#
But when the fire dies down it's cold__
D# F A#
There is no ash will burn

Love is a precious thing I'm told
