To learn Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle chords, begin by getting comfortable with these sequence: F#m, Bm, D, G, D, Em, A and D. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 67 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 134. Tune your capo to accommodate your vocal range, referencing the song's key: D Minor.
