I'd rather sleep in a box like a bum on [G#] the street
Than a fat feathered [F#] bed thatches a low [D#] cold feet
[G#]
And I'd rather be [C#] dead, dumb [G#] and stone blind
Than to know [F#] that your morning will
[G#] never [C#] be mine
And I'd rather die young than to live [G#] without you
And I'd rather [F#] go hungry than to eat [G#] lonesome stew
You know it's once in [C#] a lifetime and it won't [G#] come again
It's here [F#] and it's gone [G#] on a [C#] Magnolia [G#] wind
[C#]
And I'd rather [B] not walk [F#]
through the garden [C#] again
If I can't catch [G#] your scent on a [C#] Magnolia wind

If it ever comes time, there comes [G#] time to go
Back [F#] up your feathers, sis, back up [G#] your bow
If I can't [C#] dance with you, then I won't [G#] dance at all
I'll just sit this [G#m] [F#] one up [G#]
with my back to [C#] the wall
And I'd rather [B] not hear pretty [F#] music [C#]
again
