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).

Darby's Song

Submitted by Bambu (Thanks!)

Intro

Am F
Am F
C Am G F

Am F
Little girl you're still far too young
To have a heart that's been so broken
It might seem like you ain't got no one
G F
Well I'm here for you

Am F
Told your mama before she died
That I'd stay right by your side
C Am
I had to leave for just a little while
G F
But I'm here for you

C Am G F

Am F
Hardest part there is about dying
Are the ones who get left behind
I know your mama wouldn't want you crying
G F
So I'm here for you

Am F
I loved your mama more than she loved me
When you were born I was far from Tennessee
C Am
I came back home to hold you close to me
G F
Now I'm here for you

C Am G F

G F
You're far too precious to lose
I only want what's best for you
And that might not include me
Am F
Well I know it's true
G F
I'm here for you

Am (intro)
