Standard (EADGBE)

0:00 - 0:52

G#minor 9 F#minor add4

Mean Mr. Mustard says he’s bored

E 5th/flat 5

of life in the District

G#minor 9 F#minor add4

Can’t afford the French Quarter high

E 5th/flat 5

says it gets old real quick

G#minor 9 F#minor add4

and he pales up next to me

E 5th/flat 5

scrawled on the pavement

G#minor 9 F#minor add4

It says: son, time is all

  5th/flat 5

the Luck you need.

0:53 - 1:18

Chorus

 And if I stay Lucky then my tongue

G#minor

will stay tied, and I won’t betray

 the things that I hide.

 There’s not enough years underneath

  G#minor

this belt, for me to admit the way

 that I felt.

1:19 - 2:12

G#minor 9 F#minor add4

Mean Mr. Mustard says don’t be

E 5th/flat 5

the wave that crashes

G#minor 9 F#minor add4

From a sea of discontent, he says

E 5th/flat 5

he’s wrestled with that blanket...

G#minor 9

It leaves you cold and wet

F#minor add4 E 5th/flat 5

any way you stretch it

G#minor 9 F#minor add

Divine apathy! Disease of my youth

  5th/flat 5

watch that you don’t catch it.

CHORUS repeated 2:13 - 2:36

2:37 - 3:03

F# E *on the E chords, let ring, &

And I'm the wave that crashes... strum the strings one by one

  from the high , ,

>From a sea that turns itself

And inside out every chance I get to

See what it's like in Hell

CHORUS repeated 3:04 - end.
