G D G
I have seen snow that fell in May
G D G
And I have seen rain on cloudless days
G D C
Some things are always better changed
G D G
When there ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
G D G
Love is a precious thing I'm told
G D G
It burns just like West Virginia coal
G D C
But when the fire burns out it's cold
G D G
And there ain't no ash will burn
[Interlude]
G D G

[Verse 2]
G D G
You say this life is not your lot
G D G
But I can't be something that I'm not
G D C
We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
G D G
When there ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
G D G
Love is a precious thing I'm told
G D G
It burns just like West Virginia coal
G D C
But when the fire burns out it's cold
G D G
And there ain't no ash will burn
[Interlude]
G D G
G D G
G D C
G D G
[Verse 3]
G D G
In every life there comes a time
G D G
When there'll be no more tears to cry
G D C
You must leave something dear behind
G D G
When there ain't no ash will burn
[Chorus]
G D G
Love is a precious thing I'm told
G D G
It burns just like West Virginia coal
G D C
But when the fire burns out it's cold
G D G
And there ain't no ash will burn
C G
If there's one thing I have learned
D G
It's there ain't no ash will burn
