Tabbed by Peter Tuyp(peter.tuyp@wxs.nl)
subject: Jim Croce - Time in a bottle
Originaly the song is played by at least two guitars. I think this is a version playable by one.

Yes, this is a truly great tab of this song. Very well done. It is SO much easier if you have another guitar do the bass line. It's probably possible to do the entire thing on one guitar, but it would be rather difficult.
