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).

Verses:

G__________Em7______________G
I see your eyes clear in my head
Riff
The eyes of a girl I barely met
Em7______________________Cadd9
Crystal blue, dream come true
G______________F#_________________Em7
In slow motion you just walked on by
Asus4___________Cadd9
The memory now, remember how
G________________F#___________________Em7
You looked at me across the room that night
Asus4___________Cadd9
Strangers still despite my will

Riff

Told me your name with a smile so sweet
Your eyes cut deeper into me
Crystal blue, I saw right through
In slow motion, you just walk on by
The memory now, remember how
You looked at me across the room that night
Strangers still despite my will

Bridge:

G______________________Riff
And I wont be gone too long
G____________________Riff
And I'm never coming back
G___________________Riff
Always hated saying so long
G______________________Riff
But it always comes to that
G__F#__D

D____________Cadd9
Its just one smile
Cadd9_________Asus4
It's just one look
Asus4_______G
Its all for you
G___________Cadd9
Its all for you
D Em7 G Riff

The picking pattern for that "just one smile" part goes like this:

_D_______________Cadd9___________Asus4____________
