Tabbed By: Joe Holingshead (KSA-Tekken@worldnet.att.net)
Date: 03/17/01
Comments: I tabbed out the whole song since the other versions of this song out
there didn't satisfy me. I hope it sounds good and is almost perfect. Shouldn't
kid myself =).

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw

Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home

Lyrics:
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
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 SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
I'm sending out an SOS (repeat until fade out)
