This song has a chord that's basically a D with a C#/D in the bass. I don't know what to call it. Let's go with C#/D.
Also, he picks out the chords for the verses. It's pretty easy to hear the picking pattern, but if anybody needs me to tab it out, let me know.
_D__C#/D A G
-0--0----0-3-
-3--3----2-3-
-2--2----2-0-
-0--x----2-0-
----4----0-x-

D C#/D A/G

Verses are the same chords, only picked instead of strummed.

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

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).
