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).

Colorado Girl

This is a Townes Van Zandt cover, but Ben does it live pretty often, It's easy. The same thing repeats throughout the whole song and the only trick is that the way Ben plays it he begins each G chord and each Cadd9 chord by hammering the root note on from one fret down. For G that means a 2h3 on the E string and for Cadd9 it means a 2h3 on the A string. That's pretty much it.

That lovin' Colorado girl of mine

The promise in her smile Shames the mountains tall
The promise in her smile Shames the mountains tall
She bring the sun to shining Tell the rain to fall

Be there tomorrow Mama, don't you cry
Be there tomorrow Now, mama, don't you cry
I got to kiss these lonesome Texas blues good-bye

I'm goin' out to to Denver See if I can't find
I'm goin' out to to Denver See if I can't find
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine
