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).

She's Just That Kind of Girl

Some songs just give me tabbers block, and the intro chords to this took me a long time to figure out. In my defense, they aren't chords I've seen anywhere else, but somehow once I figured them out they seemed like typical Ben Nichols. The key was a video of Ben playing it with Cory Branan where I could get a sense of what was going on. Anyway, it's easy and fun to play.

Intro Part 1: variations on E, D, C, and G

--7--5--3--3----
--7--5--3--3----
--0--0--0--0----
--x--x--x--0----
--7--5--3--x----
--x--x--x--3----

Intro Part 2: variations on E, D, C, and D

--7--5--3--0----
--7--5--3--2----
--0--0--0--3----
--x--x--x--0----
--7--5--3--x----
--x--x--x--x----

Intro Part 3: variations on E, D, G, C, B, D, and G

--7--5--3--3--3--0--3--
--7--5--3--3--3--3--3--
--0--0--0--0--0--2--0--
--x--x--0--x--0--0--0--
--7--5--x--3--2--x--x--
--x--x--3--x--x--x--3--


After the intro chords, it goes into the main riff on G and C. This is Ben's part. I'll double back and figure out Brians (high) part some other time.

G-C Riff:

G
Running down a busy street
G
She was drunk when she kissed me
G
I know better than to be
G
Falling in love so easily
Em7_____________D
She's just that kind of girl
D____________G
That kind of girl

G-C Riff

G
I think one day she'll be my wife
G
I think I asked a hundred times
G
Asked the first night that we met
G
A hundred and one and she'll say yes
Em7_____________D
She's just that kind of girl
D____________G
That kind of girl

G-C Riff

The bridge is the same as the intro:

Intro Part 1
You can't wait around
Intro Part 2
You can't wait around
Intro Part 3
I'll come clean; I want you to wait for me

We'll just have to wait and see
About the things between her and me
I know better than to be
Falling for her kisses in the street

You can't wait around
You can't wait around
I'll come clean; I want you to wait for me

The chords over the solo are just C and G
