It was a pretty powerful feeling, I mean, kind of dangling off the edge of a cliff that
so many people
gave up everything to cross
the view that you see on that cliff all the way to America,
months-long trips with whole families not knowing what to expect when they got to the other side.
I have seen snow that fell in May
And I have seen rain [D] on cloudless [Gm] days
Some things are always better [D] changed
When there ain't no ash will [G] burn
Love is a [D] precious thing, [G] I'm told
Burns just like West Virginia coal
But when the fire [D] burns out, it's cold
And [G] there ain't [D] no ash will [G] burn
You [D]
[G] [D] [G]
[D]
[G]
say this life [D] is not [G] your lot
But I can't be something that I'm not
Can't stoke a [D] fire that we ain't got
When [G] there ain't no ash will burn
Love is a precious [D] thing, [G] I'm told
Burns just like [Bm] West Virginia [G] coal
But when the fire [D] burns out, it's cold
And there [G] ain't no [D] ash [Gm] will burn
[D]
[G]
[E] [Gm]
[D]
[G] [D]
[G] In every life [D] there comes [G] a time
When there'll be no [D] more tears to [G] cry
You must leave [D] something dear behind
[Em] When [G] there ain't [D] no ash will [G] burn
Love is a precious [D] thing, [G] I'm told
Burns just like West Virginia coal
But [D] when the fire burns out, it's cold
And there ain't no ash will [G] burn
If there's one thing I have learned
[D] Is there ain't no ash will [G] burn
[N]
