Title: TIME IN A BOTTLE (Jim Croce)
B- = (xx0331)
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I could save time in a bottle
Gm6 A7
The first thing that I'd like to do
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Gm A7
Just to spend them with you.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I could make days last forever
Gm6 A7
If words could make wishes come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Gm A7
Again, I would spend them with you.
D Dmaj7
Chorus: But there never seems to be enough time
| D6 D G Gmaj7
| To do the things you want to do Once you find them
| Em7 A7 D Dmaj7
| I've looked around enough to know
| D6 D G Gmaj7 Em7 A7
| That you're the one I want to go through time with.
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I had a box just for wishes
Gm6 A7
And dreams that had never come true
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
The box would be empty except for the memory
Gm 7
Of how they were answered by you
(CHORUS)

Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6
If I could save time in a bottle,
Gm6 A7
The first thing that I'd like to do
Dm Dm7 B- Gm7 Dm
Is to save every day 'till eternity passes away,
Gm A7
Just to spend them with you.
[Chorus]
If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true,
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you.
[Chorus]
If I had a box just for wishes,
And dreams that had never come true,
The box would be empty except for the memory of
How they were answered by you.
[Chorus]
Chorus:
D Dmaj7
But there never seems to be enough time
D6 D G Gmaj7
To do the tings you want to do once you find them
Em7 A7 D Dmaj7
[1 bar] [3/4 bar] I've looked around enough to know
D6 D G
That you're the one I want to go through time with.
Gmaj7 Em7 A7
[1 bar] [1 bar] [1 bar]
On the last go 'round, play and hold Dm.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JIM CROCE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
