This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Words and music by Jim Croce
Transcribed by T-rev www.t-rev.net
In D minor and D major (capo 5 in A minor and A major)
Am Am,maj7 Am7 D
If I could save time in a bottle
Fmaj7 Dm E7lick
The first thing that I'd like to do
Am Am,maj7 Am7 D
Is to save every day till eternity passes
Fmaj7 Dm minor lick
Away just to spend them with you
Am Am,maj7 Am7 D
If I could make days last forever
Fmaj7 Dm E7lick
If words could make wishes come true
Am Am,maj7 Am7 D
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Fmaj7 Dm minor lick
Again I would spend them with you
A A/G#
But there never seems to be enough enough time
F#m11 E4 D2 D2/C# Bm7 major lick
To do the things you want to do once you find them
A A/G#
I've looked around enough to know
F#m11 E4 D2 D2/C# Bm7 major lick
That you're the one I want to go through time with
Am Am,maj7 Am7 D
If I had a box just for wishes
Fmaj7 Dm E7lick
And dreams that had never come true
Am Am,maj7 Am7 D
The box would be empty except for the memory
Fmaj7 Dm minor lick
of how they were answered by you
