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).

In Lonesome Times

This song has a chord that I'm not sure what to call. It's an F5 with an open E in the bass (033xxx). Let's call it F/E.

Intro:

F F/E F A# (A) (G) F

Verses:

F___________F/E
In lonesome times
F______________A#
I picture your face
F_______________F/E
It’s so easy to find
F_____________________A#____C___A#
But you’re so hard to place


In lonesome times
I still hear your voice
Brings me to my knees
With the feelings I can not avoid

Chorus:

F______________________C_______A#___________F
Well I don’t find much comfort going out at night
F_____________C___________________A#__________F
Walking these streets beneath the bright city lights
F____________________C___________A#________F
And the dark country roads don’t take me nowhere
F______________________C__________A#__________F
And I’m stuck, and I’m tired, and it ain’t no fair
___________A#
to be this worn out
_____________G
To feel this low down
____________F
In lonesome times


In lonesome times
I still feel you breath
Quietly in the dark
As you lay there next to me

And I don’t find much comfort going out at night
Walking these streets beneath the bright city light
And the dark country roads don’t take me no where
And I’m stuck, and I’m tired, and it ain’t no fair
to be this worn out
To feel this low down
In lonesome times
In Lonesome times
In lonesome times
