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).

Tonight Ain't Gonna Be Good


This had some wrong chords and I added the solo (which is fun and easy).

Verses:

These are really power chords (E5, B5, A5, F#5).

E_____________________B
Tonight aint gonna be good
B____________________A________________________F#
just a little bit of pain you should turn and away
F#__________________E
you know it aint no good

Chorus:

For the E parts, play a shuffle that goes like this:

----------------
----------------
----------------
-2-4-2-4-2-4-2--
-2-4-2-4-2-4-2--
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--

E
Baby don't go to the show tonight
E
Summer's winding down there's gonna be a fight
A___F#______________________E
Oh no, you know it ain't no good

Intrumental break (after "ain't friends of mine...")

Again, use that shuffle for the E parts and this time also for the A parts (just one string over).

E A B A

Solo:
