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

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).

Wasted


I've got a one guitar arrangement of the part of this song with the lead riff at the bottom of the post. Until recently, that was the only version posted here, but when the band plays it, Ben plays the lead while Brian plays chords, so I thought they should be tabbed separately.


Intro/Lead Riff:

|.........C.............|.......Am.........|

C
Ive wasted my hands, I wasted my heart
Am

C
I wasted my tears and I wasted my words
Am
and I wish I could hold
______F______Am
you tonight
Am______G
just tonight
G__________________F____Am
hell it wont be tonight
Am____________G
It won't be tonight

C Am

C
Ive wasted my fists, I wasted my arms
Am
and these tatoos will slowly fade
C
I wasted my strength and I wasted my youth
Am
and I'd trade the rest of my days for
______F______Am
you tonight
Am______G
just tonight
G__________________F____Am
hell it wont be tonight
Am____________G
It won't be tonight

F
One day, I'll stop wasting my life away
F__________________________Am
hell I'll come through for you
Am______________G
prove myself to you
G_________Am____________G_____F
girl I'll show you what I can do
F
And one day, I'll stop wasting my life away
F__________________________Am
hell I'll come through for you
Am______________G
prove myself to you
G_________Am____________G_____F
girl I'll show you what I can do
_________________C______Am
but it wont be tonight
______________C______Am
It won't be tonight
_______________F______Am
It wont't be tonight
Am_____________G
It wont't be tonight
___________________F____Am
Girl it wont be tonight
Am____________G
It won't be tonight



For the F-Am-G "won't be tonight" part he picks it out like this:
