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

Thank you to the folks who have sent me submissions, suggestions, and corrections. Thanks also to anyone who posted a tab on the luceromusic.com boards. You can find me there posting as Boston Twang. You can also email me at lucerotabs@gmail. Submissions and/or corrections are greatly appreciated.

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).

Summer Song

The walk downs from C are just 3-3-3-2-0- on the A string.

Em_________________________________________________C
The clouds in the summer sky don't do shit for the heat
Em_______________________________________________C_walk down
The girls in their summer clothes, only slight relief
G__________________C_walk down____Em
There's nothing to do but wait it out

Em_________________________________________________________C
The boys in their summer bands sweat as they give it their all
Em_____________________________________________________C_walk down
bands might be good but probably won't last through the fall
G_________________________C_walk down
And there's nothing to do now
G_________________________C_walk down
Except to sing, sweat and shout
G______________________C_walk down____Em
And there's nothing to do but wait it out

Em_________________________________________________C
The clouds in the summer sky don't do shit for the heat
Em_______________________________________________________C_walk down
girls & the shores & the summer nights are still nice to see
G_________________________C_walk down
And there's nothing to do now
G_________________________C_walk down
Except to sing, sweat and shout
G______________________C_walk down____Em
And there's nothing to do but Wait it out

Maybe just me, but I think the verse sounds a bit closer when you alternate Em with whatever this is:

e -2-
B -3-
G -0-
