This is really reaching but I will try it anyway. I think the chords are
c#m, A, B, f#m for the verse and then possibly c#m, A g#m or something like
that for the chorus. When I played it with a band, my hand would ache after
a short time because of the barre chords so I now play it like this
(although I haven't played it for months, so I don't know if this is right):
Verse (main riff)
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
------------------------------------2--
-------14--------7-------9-------4-----
----14--------7-------9-------4--------
-12--------5-------7-------2-----------
I don't remember how the chorus goes; I think I just strummed c#m, A, g#m
and f#m (but hearing it in my head, that last chord sounds like it should
be a seventh ???)
One thing to keep in mind is that chorus sounds great on this but with
a little distortion, the constant sliding around sounds pretty crappy if
you don't muffle the strings. That is one problem I had anyway.
I hope that helps.

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:
1---------------------------------------------------------------------1
2---------------------------------------------------------------------2
3----------8-----------4----------6-----------------------------------3
4------6-----------2----------4--------------6-7----------------------4
5--4-----------0----------2--------------4----------------------------5
6------------------------------------2--------------------------------6
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!
