----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MESSAGE IN ABOTTLE (x02220@1)- The Police ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: MattBMusic E-mail: lessons@mattbmusic.com www.mattbmusic.com Tuning:Standard Tuning - Capo 2 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. Here's a link to a video for the song as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQW6W6wO7aU 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 (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) DI'll (xx0232@1)send an S.O.S. to the world 2X Em (022000@1) Cadd9I (x32030@1)hope that someone gets my 3X Bm (x24432@1) Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Bm/F#Message (x2444x@1)in a bottle, yeah Bm (x24432@1) Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Bm/F# (x2444x@1) EmMessage (022000@1)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 Hope you enjoy it! www.mattbmusic.com
