Intro: C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9  

C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9      
Just a castaway,     
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9                      
on an island lost at sea,    

C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9    
another lonely day,        
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9    
with no one here but me.    
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9    
More loneliness,           
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9    
than any man could bear,    
 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
rescue me before          
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
 I fall into despair.    

 A5               D5 E5                   
    I'll send an SOS to the world,     
       A5             D5 E5     F#5   
I'll send an SOS to the world,    
              D5                 
I hope that someone gets my,    
F#5            D5    
 I hope that someone gets my,      
F#5             D5    
I hope that someone gets my

 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9               
 A year has passed            
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9     
since I wrote my note,    
 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9                  
 but I should have known this         
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9     
right from the start.    
    C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9     
Only hope can keep me together,    
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9     
love can mend your life,     
C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9       
 but love can break your heart.

  C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9      
Walked out this morning,   
  C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
don't believe what I saw,    

 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
a hundred billion bottles,   
 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
 washed up on the shore.   
  C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
Seems I'm not alone at being alone,    
 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
a hundred billion castaways,    
 C#sus9 Asus9   Bsus9   F#sus9   
looking for a home.   


 A5               D5 E5                   
    I'll send an SOS to the world,     
       A5             D5 E5     F#5   
I'll send an SOS to the world,    
              D5                 
I hope that someone gets my,    
F#5            D5    
 I hope that someone gets my,      
F#5             D5    
I hope that someone gets my
