Here is the last of this group in multiple keys, plus an update to "Minute by Minute" (C).
All individual PDFs and word processing files are posted below.

Please let me know if you find any errors, etc.
The criteria for this collection included (1) popular songs (usually but not exclusively Hot 100 hits) and (2) the songs that the group had been playing in the 2023 portion of their 50th Anniversary Tour (up to June 20).
That leaves many popular hits not accounted for in this collection (the group has released 20 albums in their career). I have open files for six of these songs but don't know when I'll be able to get them finished (although I have four collections of sheet music, they do not usually agree with each other in all respects; versions published on other sites can vary widely in quality). The six songs are:
Real Love (#5 hit on Billboard's Hot 100)
The Doctor (#9 hit)
One Step Closer (#24 hit)
Dependin' On You (#25 hit)
Here To Love You (#65 hit)
You Belong To Me (#79 hit)
I had hoped to collect sheet music for three additional songs, but so far I've had no success: "Sweet Maxine" (#40), "Little Darling (I Need You)", and "Wynkyn, Blynkyn & Nod."
Many of the songs that the group performs during their concerts are found on the 2-CD collection "The Very Best of The Doobie Brothers" (33 songs; see Wikipedia, Amazon, & YouTube - all links open in a new window). Please note that I do not have an affiliate relationship with Amazon (or anybody else for that matter).
Enjoy!
PS. As I'm writing this, Severe Thunderstorm Watch #601 has been issued for much of Georgia, Alabama, and southern Tennessee until 7 pm this evening. Be safe. Please remember that
if you can hear thunder, you can be hit by lightning, and,
never drive through flood waters -- the roadway may have been washed away. Most deaths in flash floods occur in vehicles.

A two-hour power outage in Decatur limited work this afternoon, so there is just one additional song to add in multiple keys:
As my old buddy Jim used to say: "Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you."
More songs will be posted tomorrow.

This song, and the other four to be transposed, will take a bit of time due to the number of chord diagrams that are being retrieved (66 in addition to the original 24 in the key of E). Here is this morning's offering:

A baker's dozen of songs from one of the great groups from the 1970s, the Doobie Brothers who will be appearing at the Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville on August 30, 2023. These song sheets that are posted are only in the key they originally recorded each song but I'm working on transpositions into multiple keys for each song (first on the list is 'What A Fool Believes' in Db), plus I hope be add a few other songs by the group.
