I have seen snow that fell in May
A# C F
And I have seen rain on cloudless days

Somethings are always bound to change
A# C F
There ain't no ash will burn

A# C F
Love is a precious thing I'm told
A# C F
It burns just like West Virginia coal
A# C Dm
But when the fire dies down it's cold
A# C F
There ain't no ash will burn

There ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
