No Ash Will Burn

F  G  Am    F  G  C

[Verse 1]
            F         G       C
I have seen snow that fell in May
                F       G         C
And I have seen rain on cloudless days
                F      G        Am  C
Some things are always bound to change
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn


[Chorus]
          F        G         C
Love is a precious thing I'm told
                F       G     C
Burns just like West Virginia coal
             F         G         Am  C
But when the fire dies down it's cold__
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn


[Verse 2]
             F       G        C
You say this life is not your lot
                 F         G        C
Well, I can't be something that I'm not
              F       G       Am  C
Can't stoke a fire we haven't got___
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn


[Chorus]
          F        G         C
Love is a precious thing I'm told
                F       G     C
Burns just like West Virginia coal
             F         G         Am  C
But when the fire dies down it's cold__
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn


[Instrumental]
C   F  G  C    F  G  C    F  G  Am    F  G  C


[Verse 3]
         F          G       C
In every life there comes a time
                F       G        C
Where there are no more tears to cry
              F         G      Am  C
We must leave something dear behind__
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn


[Chorus]
          F        G         C
Love is a precious thing I'm told
                F       G     C
Burns just like West Virginia coal
             F         G         Am  C
But when the fire dies down it's cold__
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn


[Outro]
             F     G       Am   C7
There is one lesson I have learned
      F     G        C
There is no ash will burn
