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

You say this life is not your lot

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

It burns just like West Virginia coal

Where there are no more tears to cry

We must leave something dear behind

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