 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            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
 
 Hope you enjoy it!
