Guy Clarke sings this in Eb, the John Prine/Emmylou Harris version is in Db, so transpose accordingly :) [Verse 1]
                       D                     A
I'd rather sleep in a box like a bum on the street

                     G                                A
Than a fine feather bed without your little ol' cold feet

                   D                   A
And I'd rather be deaf, dumb, and stone blind

                        G       A                D
Than to know that your mornings   will never be mine
[Verse 2]
                    D                          A
And I'd rather die young than to live without you

                   G                           A
And I'd rather go hungry than to eat lonesome stew

                         D                           A
You know it's once in a lifetime and it won't come again

                    G   A                D
It's here and it's gone   on a magnolia wind
[Chorus]
                C   G                      D
I'd rather not walk   through the garden again

                       A                   D
If I can't catch your scent on a magnolia wind
[Break] | D | A | G | A | | D | A | G A | D [Verse 3]
                       D                         A
Well if it ever comes time that it comes time to go

                   G                        A
Sis' pack up your fiddle, Sis' pack up your bow

                       D                         A
If I can't dance with you then I won't dance at all

                       G   A                      D
I'll just sit this one out   with my back to the wall
[Chorus]
                C   G                D
I'd rather not hear   pretty music again

                       A                    D
If I can't catch your fiddle on a magnolia wind

                       A                   D
If I can't catch your scent on a magnolia wind
