This is my translation of this tune and it's pretty straight forward. 
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.

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

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:
