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).

Old Sad Songs

Intro
C# E C# A C# B A E

C#______________________E__________
I'd stay the night with you my love
____C#___________________A
I'd stay the whole night long

C#_____________________________B_________________
But the boys are playing those old sad songs and
B___________A
I must sing along
C#______________________E______________
I hear the snare drum's slow sad march
__C#_________________A
I hear those fiddles cry
C#_______________B_______________A_________________E
And I must go to them my love or else I'd stay the night
