Hello  there  Cowpie  friends.  I'm  not  sure  if there's a X-mas Issue
coming  out  but if there is, you might like a bit of borderline-country
with  a  certain X-mas feel to it. At least that's how I'd describe this
excellent  song.  
Either  my  guitar is off tune or Jim played this in C#. I'm doing it in
C  for  easy  reference,  but if you wish to play it in C# put a capo on
fret  1.  Playing  it  exactly as Croce does would be quite a challenge,
but I'm using a simple picking pattern on the open chords.
So,  y'all  have  a nice Christmas, and if you have some making up to do
to  your love, this one will absolutely do the trick - and possibly more
than that - none of which I shall be held responsible for :)
