THE CROCE DOZEN

[FORUM] [SONGBOOKS] [LIVE] [TRIVIA] [GREG LAKE] [EVA CASSIDY] [HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS]

THE CROCE DOZEN is a collection of tablatures that came into being over a period of 20 years, featuring 12 songs written by Jim Croce in the early 1970ies. The TABLATURE SYSTEM is my own creation and might look a bit strange at first sight, but is quite practical to work with, if you are accustomed to it. The tablatures are written for single acoustic guitar, best played on nylon-strung concert models, and are excellent fingerstyle studies for the advanced guitarist.
Songbooks that still can be purchased on the book market aren`t really convincing (i.m.o.), and create the impression of being concocted under pressure of time. But I have to admit, that some tutorials on YouTube I found quite helpful. I realize that the whole material is COPYRIGHT PROTECTED and that I'm running the risk of ending up in a law suit, if I publish any of these files in the WWW.
Then again I feel engaged to give other people the opportunity to critically reflect upon my approach and the solutions that I have found, so far. My motive is absolutely non-profit. If you find some flaws or have something to contribute, drop me a line in the forum.
The songs involved in key order (circle of fifths) as follows:

- IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY (C)
- LOVER'S CROSS (C)
- NEXT TIME, THIS TIME (C)
- ALABAMA RAIN (G)
- OPERATOR (G)
- PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORIES (G)
- DREAMIN' AGAIN (D)
- THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME (D)
- THESE DREAMS (Dm)
- TIME IN A BOTTLE (Dm)
- I'LL HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOU IN A SONG (A)
- NEW YORK'S NOT MY HOME (A)

Btw: Croce's songs in the key of E are mostly strummed ...

This is a tribute page the size of a floppy disc, to one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all times. For more information, please visit the official website and look for additional information at Wikipedia. And pay a visit to maurymuehleisen.com.
