#The chord outline for Message looks like this:

#Verse:
#C#add9 Aadd9 Badd9 F#add9 (sliding up to m3) :|
#
#"Chorus" 1 (I'll send an S.O.S....)
#A D E :|
#
#"Chorus" 2 (I hope that some one gets my...)
#F#m D :|
#
#"Chorus" 3 (Message in a bottle...)
#C#m A (repeat) resolve to F#m then back to verse.
#
#>From watching the old Police live tapes, you can see that
#Andy plays the add9 chords something like this:

#I recommend doing the troups of three with fingers 1, 3, 4. This way,
#you can slide up from 6-7 on the final chord with your pinky and your
#index will be in position over fret 4 to begin the cycle again.
#
#I recommend barres for the chorus chords, to reproduce the original
#feeling. Try the 5th position A and D, 7th position E, 2nd position
#F#m, and 4th position C#m.
#
#Enjoy!
