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

We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
D# F A#
There ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
