Guy Clarke sings this in Eb, the John Prine/Emmylou Harris version is in Db, so transpose accordingly :)
                       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

                    (D)                        A
And I'd rather die young than to live without you

               G                         A
I'd rather go hungry than 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

                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 |
                       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

                C         G                 D
I'd rather not hear          pretty music again

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

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