[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 Em
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 Em
But when the fire dies down it's cold
C D G
There ain't no ash will burn

You say this life is not your lot

Well I can't be someone that I'm not
C D Em
We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
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 Em
But when the fire dies down it's cold
C D G
There ain't no ash will burn

[Verse 3]
C D G
In every life there comes a time
C D G
Where there are no more tears to cry
C D Em
We must leave something dear behind
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 Em
But when the fire dies down it's cold
C D G
There ain't no ash will burn
