About This Blog

I started this blog because the tabs on the Lucero message board kept getting lost when they switched sites. A blog isn't a perfect forum for guitar tabs and chords, but it now has posts for all but a handful of their songs. And, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only source for Lucero tabs that has been endorsed by an actual Lucero guitarist. Accept no substitutes.

Holy shit! That's how that goes... www.lucerotabs.blogspot.com

Thank you to the folks who have sent me submissions, suggestions, and corrections. Thanks also to anyone who posted a tab on the luceromusic.com boards. You can find me there posting as Boston Twang. You can also email me at lucerotabs@gmail. Submissions and/or corrections are greatly appreciated.

General Thoughts on Lucero Chords

Ben seems to favor chord variations that fret the B string at the third fret. If a C, Em, G, or A doesn't seem quite right, try:
Cadd9 (x32030), Em7 (022030), G (320033), Asus (x02230)

Also, I think he leaves the E string open on a lot of his D chords (xx0230).

D Riff
I met her out on the interstate
D Riff
Asleep in my car where I was to wait
F#m
She tapped on the glass
E
Together at last
A D A (Walkup A -0-2-4)
With the girl I missed
F#m E D
And it really don't get any better than this
Riff
No better than this


D Riff
Sun was shining bright, shining cold
D Riff
On the dirt and the snow out in New Mexico
F#m
We were half way between
E
The south and the sea
A D A (Walkup A -0-2-4)
At a Motel 6
F#m E D
And it really don't get any better than this
Riff
No better than this

D Riff
Just 5 nights then I had to go home
D Riff
She cried big tears at the side of the road
F#m
We said our goodbyes
E
And I left her behind
A D A (Walkup A -0-2-4)
With one last kiss
F#m E D
And it really don't get any better than this
Riff
No better than this
F#m E D
No it really don't get no better than this
Outro
No better than this
