Police - Message In A Bottle [1979]
Key: [Bm] (original song in C#m)

INTRO: (pattern throughout)
[B5] [G5] [A5] [E5]

VERSE 1:
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea
Another lonely day, no one here but me oh
More loneliness, than any man could bare
Rescue need before, I fall into despair

CHORUS:
[G5] I'll send an [C5] S.O.-[D5]-S. to the [G5] world
[G5] I'll send an [C5] S.O.-[D5]-S. to the [E5] world

[E5] I hope that [C5] someone gets my
[E5] I hope that [C5] someone gets my
[E5] I hope that [C5] someone gets my

[Bm7 open] Message in a [G open] bottle [Bm7 open] [G open]
[Bm7 open] Message in a [G open] bottle [E open]

VERSE 2:
A year has past since I wrote my note
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

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
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 cause

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO: [over INTRO pattern]
Sending out an S.O.S; Sending out an S.O.S.
Sending out an S.O.S; Sending out an S.O.S.
