[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
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# A#m
But when the fire dies down it's cold
F# G# C#
There ain't no ash will burn

[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# A#m
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# A#m
But when the fire dies down it's cold
F# G# C#
There ain't 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
F# G# A#m
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# A#m
But when the fire dies down it's cold
F# G# C#
There ain't no ash will burn
