So I was looking for a tab for this song and surprisingly most of them were pretty bad. Even the one that was "Unregistered" was close, but still not the way how Jim Croce played it. So after studying old Jim Croce performances, I got it down perfect. The only thing that people may still have trouble with this song is the beat and the hammer-ons and pull-offs while using the barre chords. But if you either listen to the song or watch Jim Croce perform it on youtube, then it should be childs play. So after you have made your final judgement on this tab, please rate and/or leave a comment.
