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).

Wandering Star

There are three parts to this song: a verses riff, a chorus riff, and a bridge at the end, which is just chords.


Verses Riff: (To play this just slide an open C chord shape from 7 to 5 to 3 and get the high notes with your pinkie.)

----5---7-5---0----3---5-3----0---1--3-1-0--
------0--------------0------------0--0-0-0--

Chorus Riff (adapted for one guitar):

Verses Riff
the bands are done i should go home
all my friends left a long time ago
the girl serving drinks is the only one i know
i aint got no good place to go

Chorus Riff
it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
on the city streets i call my home
it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
i follow it 'till i am gone

Verses Riff
the streetlights fade and dissappear
i can see the stars better out here
cross the bridge to the country roads
i'll follow that star wherever it goes

Chorus Riff
it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
on the city streets i call my home
it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
i follow it 'till i am gone


Bridge:

G______________________D
then i wander wherever it might roam
Cadd9___________G
a lucky star to call my own
G_____________________D
and i wander 'till my heart's content to rest
Cadd9
and my star falls from the sky

(back to the verses riff)
'cause falling stars are best
