Police - "Message in a Bottle"


i was watching videos of the Police and was able to figure the signature rif out and came up with a way to pull off the rest of the song when playing alone.


Signature Rif (Verse) "just a castaway, i am lost at sea oh.."

e-
B-
G-     8              6    
D-   6        9     4      6/76  ETC.
A- 4        7     2      4
E-        5            2


Chorus (this isn't what the guitar actually does, but when you're playing solo this works, all downstrokes match up timing with the words, i'll try to space it out to show the timing) "I'll send an S.O.S. to the world"

e-
B-    
G-      7  9      7  9
D- 7    7  9  7   7  9   Then this goes right to....
A- 7    5  7  7   5  7  
E- 5          5 

"i hope that someone gets my message in a bottle"

e-
B-
G-     6       6
D- 7   6  7 6  6 7 6  4 4
A- 7   4  7 6  4 7 6  4 4
E- 5      5 4    5 4  2 2

back to signature rif...thats pretty much it, hope it helps
