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

We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got

There ain't no ash will burn

It burns just like West Virginia coal

In every life there comes a time

We must leave something dear behind

There ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]

Love is a precious thing I'm told
C# D# G#
It burns just like West Virginia coal
