Time in a Bottle Jim Croce
Time In A Bottle - Jim Croce
Tabbed By Burnee @ ntlworld.com
These chords may look complicated but really they are very
simple, once you have strung them together. This is the closest
I can get to the recording and still play it on one guitar.

D5/D DMaj7no3/D D7no3/D G/D
If I could save time in a bottle
Gm Gm6 Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm6 A7 G7no3/F Emno5/G Gmno5/A# Fno5add2/A Emno5/G
The first thing that I'd like to do
D5/D DMaj7no3/D D7no3/D G/D
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Gm6 Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm6 A7 G7no3/F Emno5/G Gmno5/A# Fno5add2/A Emno5/G
Just to spend them with you.
D5/D DMaj7no3/D D7no3/D G/D
If I could make days last forever
Gm Gm6 Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm6 A7 G7no3/F Emno5/G Gmno5/A# Fno5add2/A Emno5/G
If words could make wishes come true
D5/D DMaj7no3/ D D7no3/D G/D
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Gm Gm6 Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm6 A7 G7no3/F Emno5/G Gmno5/A# Fno5add2/A Emno5/G
Again, I would spend them with you.
But there [D]never seems to [DMaj7]be enough time
D DMaj7 G GMaj7/F# Em A7 Em9no5 Emno5
To do the things you want to do Once you find them
I've [D]looked around e[DMaj7]nough to know
D DMaj7 G GMaj7/F# Em A7 Em9no5 Emno5 Dmno5/Riff 2
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
D5/D DMaj7no3/D D7no3/D G/D
If I had a box just for wishes
Gm Gm6 Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm6 A7 G7no3/F Emno5/G Gmno5/A# Fno5add2/A Emno5/G
And dreams that had never come true
D5/D DMaj7no3/D D7no3/D G/D
The box would be empty except for the memory
Gm Gm6 Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm6 A7 G7no3/F Emno5/G Gmno5/A# Fno5add2/A Emno5/G
Of how they were answered by you
But there [D]never seems to [DMaj7]be enough time
D DMaj7 G GMaj7/F# Em A7 Em9no5 Emno5
To do the things you want to do Once you find them
I've [D]looked around e[DMaj7]nough to know
D DMaj7 G GMaj7/F# Em A7 Em9no5 Emno5 Dmno5/Riff 2
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
