Standard tuning, no capo. The verse and chorus have only one chord with changing base notes and there is a brief bridge near the end which is a piece of cake. In my opinion, 7m3 performs this song so well because the vocals are sung with such emotion, with the back up picking guitar adding to this, and the cymbals create an effective and spontaneous build up leading to the chorus. I haven't heard it in a while but I believe I remember an organ in the background. Anyways, have fun and if you have any comments I would be pleased to hear them at [email protected] Verse: -------0-------0--------0------| -------0-------0--------0------| -------3-------3--------3------| -------4-------4--------4------| -------2-------2--------2------| -------4-------2--------0------| You can probably figure out the strumming pattern on your own. This is the same chord with three different base notes. A tip is to hit the base note signally then strum the chord a few times again hitting each base note signally a few times during the progression. The chord leading into each chorus is an E major which replaces the chord with the E base note as shown above. Chorus: -------0------0------0------0------0------| -------0------0------0------0------0------| -------4------4------4------4------1------| -------4------4------4------4------2------| -------2------1------X------X------2------| -------X------X------4------2------0------| Same kinda thing as the verse but more powerful. I strum the chorus as opposed to the verse where I pick one or two string at a time. Bridge: ------0------0-------| ------0------0-------| ------1------3-------| ------2------4-------| ------2------4-------| ------0------0-------| This is the bridge between the two choruses at the end of the song. This part should be played softly. LUCKY by Seven Mary Three Mean Mr. Mustard says he's bored of life in the district Can't afford the French Quarter High, says it get old real quick And he pales up next to me, scrawled on the pavement It says son, time is all the luck you need And if I say lucky then my tonuge'll stay tied And I won't betray the things that I hide There's not enough years underneath this belt For me to admit the way that I felt Mean Mr. Mustard says don't be the wave that crashes >From a sea of discontent, he says he's wrestled with that blanket It leaves you cold and wet, anyway you stretch it Divine apathy, the disease of my youth, watch that you don't catch it I'm the wave that crashes, from A sea that turns itself Inside out every chance I get See what it's like in hell, yeah e yeah LUCKY by Seven Mary Three from their latest album Rock Crown Tabbed By T.J. Vanderpoel After trying to play along with the cd, I realized the above version wasn't quite right. I caught them playing on Letterman and saw the chords they used there, which also play perfect with the cd. Here they are: Chords: G#m F#m E B --4---0---0---2-| --4---0---0---4-| --4---3---3---4-| --6---4---4---4-| --6---2---2---2-| --4---2---0---X-| Verse: G#m F#m E Mean Mr. Mustard says he's bored of life in the district G#m F#m E Can't afford the French Quarter High, says it gets old real quick G#m F#m E And he pales up next to me, scrawled on the pavement G#m F#m E He says son, time is all the luck you need Chorus: B B And if I say lucky then my tongue'll stay tied G#m F#m E And I won't betray the things that I hide B B There's not enough years underneath this belt G#m F#m E For me to admit the way that I felt Bridge: F#m Down the wave that crashes, from E A sea that turns itself F#m Inside out every chance I get E See what it's like in hell, yeah e yeah This has been my first submission.
