Message in a Bottle Guitar Tablature
This was also played during the Bright Ideas Tour of '97

Intro:  Ab

Verse 1:
Ab                       F#
I was waiting for you to come around
Ab                     F#
I expected no bit of a sound
Ab                        F#
Trees surround me in this place
Ab                              F#
Sand and ocean form in front of my face

Chorus:
E                      B                   A
  Write a message in a bottle.  Don't come find me
A
I will call you when I'm ready
E            B                A
  I'll just watch the days go by
E                 B               A
  My message in a bottle you just might see
A
It reads, "Do you miss me?"
E           B                A
  I'll just watch my days go by
        Ab
With my eye

Verse 2:
Was I wrong?  Are you my pal?
Don't know whats wrong when you growl
You try to talk but I'm too mad
Walk away I feel so bad

Chorus

Solo:
G|---9--9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-6--6-6-6-6-4---4-4-6-4-2-1-2-1-2---|
Play like 2xs

Thats about it.  Josh goes back into the chorus and Joe does this bass
thingy that I can't tab.

After the last chorus, you play this interlude:
D|---7-7--6---4---|
A|--------6---4---|
E|--------4---2---|

This is also the outro.  Enjoy CBA fans!  Their new CD is due out soon.  Look for Mysterio2690 on Yahoo.  He is their manager guy.  They aren't signed to a label.
They release their CDs independently.  E-mail Arthur (mysterio2690) for a CD.  They are like $10.  Later.
