Message In A Bottle Acoustic chords by The Police

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice



Capo on 2nd fret

Here it is.. An Easy Way to play the Classic tune Message in a Bottle. The original
version of this song is done starting on C#m. For some people it can be more difficult.
 I came up with this arrangement to make it a bit easier but still keeping the original
key.

Bm  G  A  Em (Repeats through out the verse)

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
G      Cadd9     D
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world  2X
Em     Cadd9
I hope that someone gets my   3X
Bm     Gmaj7   Bm/F#
Message in a bottle, yeah
Bm     Gmaj7   Bm/F#   Em
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world 2X
I hope that someone gets my    3X
Message in a bottle, yeah     4X

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home

2nd Chorus and then  Sending out an SOS


THE END!
