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).

Poor Heartache

Verses: G D G Cadd9 G D G

Chorus: Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 D

G__________________________________D
Well my heart's grown this pair of wings
G_______________________________Cadd9
despite all they pain that they bring
G______________________D
to a heart, a heart so true
D_______________G
Like the one in you

Now my heart's got this pair of wings
And they're devilish foolhardy things
But I once had a heart so true
Like the one in you

Cadd9
Hell now I know that we're still kids
_________Em7
But that don't change the things I did
___Cadd9
To make your poor heart ache
____________D
Now I'm not worth it and you'll realize it some day
D________G
Down the line

Well my heart's flying off the ground
But it'll surely come crashing back down
And when it does, well I won't have you
And your heart so true

Hell now I know that we're still kids
But that don't change the things I did
To make your poor heart ache
Now I'm not worth it and you'll realize it some day
Down the line

Hell now I know that we're still kids
But you can't forgive the things I did
You'll find another heart so true
And you'll break that poor boy's hear right in two
Down the line
