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).

No Roses No More

G E G E

E_____________________G_E_________________________G

ain't no roses no more, it's not like it was before
A__________________G______E___G
she had them tears in her eyes
E____________________G_E______________________G
ain't no roses no more, it's yourself you adore
A_________________________G___________________________E
so just go ahead, say goodbye, you don't care if it's right
E____________G____________________________E
it's time to go, well that's all that you know
________A________________________________C
so just tell her true, you're not coming back tonight


E_______________________G__E_____________________E
like the waves in the sea, you won't never catch me
A_________________G___________E____G
I crash on your shores and I'm gone
E_______________________G__E_________________________G
like the stars in the sky, plain to see with your eyes
A________________________________________G________________________E
but I'm far out of reach and too hard to hold and now I'm getting old
E______________G________________________E
only so much time and I'm taking what's mine
________A________________________________C
so just tell her true, you're not coming back tonight


E_____________________G_E_________________________G
ain't no roses no more, it's not like it was before
A__________________G______E____G
she had them tears in her eyes
E____________________G_E______________________G
ain't no roses no more, it's yourself you adore
A______________________________G_________________E
all she's got is tears in her eyes you said goodbye
E____________G__________________________E
she was so strong, don't mean it's not wrong
________A_______________________________C
so just tell her true you're not coming back tonight
_________A______________________________C
hell, it won't hurt you, you'll be just fine
