Magnolia Wind Guy Clark
Guy Clarke sings this in Eb, the John Prine/Emmylou Harris version is in Db, so
transpose accordingly :)
CAPO 1 for Eb
I'd rather sleep in a b[D]ox like a bum on the s[A]treet
Than a fine feather b[G]ed without your little ol' cold f[A]eet
And I'd rather be d[D]eaf, dumb, and stone bli[A]nd
Than to know that your m[G]ornings [A] will never be m[D]ine
And I'd rather die y[(D)]oung than to live without y[A]ou
I'd rather go h[G]ungry than eat lonesome st[A]ew
You know it's once in a l[D]ifetime and it won't come aga[A]in
It's here and it's g[G]one [A] on a magnolia wi[D]nd
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/guy_clark/magnolia_wind_crd.html )
I'd rather not w[C]alk [G] through the garden ag[D]ain
If I can't catch your sc[A]ent on a magnolia w[D]ind
Break:
D |A |G |A |
D |A |G A |D |
Well if it ever comes t[D]ime that it comes time to [A]go
Sis' pack up your f[G]iddle, Sis' pack up your [A]bow
If I can't dance with y[D]ou then I won't dance at a[A]ll
I'll just sit this o[G]ne out [A] with my back to the w[D]all
I'd rather not h[C]ear [G] pretty music ag[D]ain
If I can't hear your fi[A]ddle on a magnolia wi[D]nd
If I can't catch your s[A]cent on a magnolia wi[D]nd
