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).

If Only You Were Lonely

There's a chord in this song that I'm not sure what to call. It's x20030 which makes is B-D-G-D-E and I don't think that's anything. Anyhow, I just called it B*

G B* Cadd9 Asus G D G

G
Well, I walked out of work
__________B*
And I was tired as hell
Cadd9________________Asus
Another day come and gone and oh well
G___________________D_____________________G
Somewhere there's a drink with my name on it

G_____________________________B*
Well, I ordered a Scotch as I bust through them doors
________Cadd9
Spilled half on my jeans
__________Asus
The other half on the floor
G______________D______________________G
When I saw you standing by that video game

G
Well, I ain't very good
__________B*
But I get practice by myself
Cadd9
Forgot my one line
__________Asus
So I just said what I felt


Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D
If only you were lonely,
Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D
If only you was lonely too,
Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D
If only you was lonely
Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D__G
I'd go home with you

Twenty push-ups this morning, that was half my goal
Tonight I'll be doin' pull-ups
On the toilet bowl
And somewhere there's somebody a-throwin up

Well, I broke the seal on my door
And I poured myself to bed
The whirlpool spinning around in my head
Around in my head
There was liquor on my breath
You were on my mind

B*
And I'll be dreamin of that smile
__________Cadd9_______Asus
Without a care in the world
Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D
If only you were lonely,
Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D
If only you was lonely too,
Cadd9____________B*_____Cadd9__D__G
If only you was lonely

I walked out of the kitchen
I was tired as hell
Another day's here... oh well
Somewhere there's a smile with my name on it.
