Sad and Lonely

I cleaned up a couple small-ish mistakes in this and added lyrics. It's a lot of fun to play. I'm a little surprised they've never played it live (at least not as far as I can tell).

Chorus chords (got left behind...)

A# F D# C

For the part that goes "Walking through the streets..." The chords are D# C A# F (these are power chords).
Pick back and forth between root and octave notes sliding down on the roots (shown below). Throw in a hammer on from open on the F chord.

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).

Here's a link to blurbs Ben wrote about each song on this record. It's all kinds of awesome.

Tears Don't Matter Much

This is not exactly how they play it, but it's close. I can tell from videos that Ben plays the main riff all in first position, and I'm not sure if he's playing the bass notes or if those are someone else's job. In any event, this tab does a nice job for one guitar.

Instead of straight chords on the first half of this part, they
play something that sounds like:

D--------------------0---

Here is an alternate version of the main riff that was submitted by Richard Hall. (Thank you!) The notes appear to be the same, but it's played in first position, the way Ben plays it.

Mine Tonight

For a song that's almost entirely based around two chords, this one is kind of tricky. Let's start by taking a look at those chords:

(42444x)
(02444x)

I'm not even sure what they're called. I guess one would be B with a G# in the bass and the other B with an E in the bass. Whatever they're called, they take a little practice to finger cleanly.

Then there's the fact that one chord in the chorus has changed over the years. It always starts F# E G#, but on the demo version from the TMFW bonus disc the next chord is F#. On the studio version, it's C#. In this video from what must have been around the time the record came out (he looks like he's about 12, and he's playing an Epi Dot) the chord is C#. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKvQF4EeT0I&feature=related

But in more recent videos, like this one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y74wff_XW8o the chord goes back to F#.

So I don't know what to tell you. It goes F# E G# ? B A E. Plug in whichever chord you prefer for the question mark.

I've gone back and added Todd's lead parts at the bottom of the post. They're fun to play, so I recommend checking them out.

G1 parts:

During the first part of each verse he's playing a simple riff on the top notes of those chords:

Verse Riffs

Sometimes:

|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------4-------------------------4-4---------4---|
|-----2-------------------------2-----------2-----2-|
|-4-------------------------4-----------4-----------|


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

But more often:

|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------4-4-----------4-----------4-4---------4---|
|-----2-------------2-----------2-----------2-----2-|
|-4-------------4-----------4-----------4-----------|


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

Once he switches to playing the chords, but there's a knd of staccato rythym that takes a little practice to get the accents right.

There's also a fill that he plays where he lets each chord ring and then picks around the top and bottom. It goes like this:

Fill

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

The chords for the chorus ("We ain't got much...") are all power chords:

F# E G# F# (or C#) B A E


Verse Riff
there's nothing romantic on the city streets
you drive down 'em once and you’ve seen everything
Chords
the river's rising up, the city’s sinking down
Well I’m just trying to get back to the other side of town
Well I got a little girl, and she's waiting on me

Fill

Verse Riff
She says 'I'll see you when you get home'
And now these working days are getting just a little too long
Chords
Well I can see her now, sitting at the kitchen table
Record player playing for my rock and roll angel
She says 'I'll see you when you get home'
Chorus
Now we ain’t got much
But this town belongs to us
Tonight she's mine, tonight
Tonight she's mine

Verse Riff

Verse Riff
The wind crossing over
the river just howls
through the empty city streets that we drive down
Chords
Riding in the car, one arm around her
Living, this city's gonna be all ours
the wind on the river, such a beautiful sound
Chords
Now we ain’t got much
But this town belongs to us
Tonight she’s mine, tonight
Verse Riff
Tonight she’s mine
Cause tonight
She's mine for the night
Chords
Tonight she's mine

The Only One

The original tab on here was submitted by a user going by Bambu, and it was real close, but a couple weeks ago this video surfaced, and now I can tell exactly how Ben plays it, so I've updated the post. He doesn't strum any chords, so the letters refer to which part of the riff you should be playing.

That Much Further West

This tab is based on the live version of the song, which is slightly different from the album, which has even more layering.
Even after resorting to the live version, it has a ton of parts to tab.
Hopefully they aren't too hard to follow, but I'll also do a video to demontrate them.

During the verses one guitar (Ben) plays this churning riff

A--6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4-

The second guitar just plays chords over that (E, G#, E, F#, E)

During the breaks between the verses the first guitar plays a similar riff like this

The first time through the second guitar just plays chords over that (B, E, G#, E)

The second and third times through Brian plays a lead like this


This just gets the notes, not the number of strikes. If he lingers on a note for a while I gave it a "_"

-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
----------------4---4-6b-4-6s8_-6-4--------
--------4-6_-4_---4-----------------4s6----
-2-4-6_------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------

After the third verse that continues into
the main solo which goes something like this:

e-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G-4_-6s8-9-8-9-8-8s4-4-6-8-8s4--------

While that's going on the other guitar is playing something like this

A-2-2-2-2-2-4-6-2-2-2-2-2-4-6-6-4-9-7-6-2
E-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-0---------------0

Then it goes into the meat of the solo. I think Ben plays this part live.
The chords the other guitar plays over this are (E, G#, E, F#, E, F#, E, G#, E)

Then it goes into the quiet part of the solo, which goes like

-------4h6---------4h6---------4h6---------

While that's going on the other guitar is just picking out high and low root notes from B,E,G#, and E like this

G-----4-4---4-4---4-4---4---
D---------------------------
A-2-2-----2-----2-----2-----

Then both guitars play chords through a B,E,G#,E cycle

The instrumental break ends with another pass through this riff while the second guitar plays E,G#, and F#

A-2-2-2-2-2-4-6-2-2-2-2-2-4-6-6-4-9-7-6-2
E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Then its back to the final verse. That's pretty much it.

Hate and Jealousy

This tab is based off of the acoustic version on the TMFW bonus disc. It's pretty much the same as the electric version, though.

Coming Home

As far as I can tell the boys haven't played a live full-band version of this song since Brian rejoined the band. I've certainly never seen them play it, and that makes it a little bit hard to tell what's really going on with Ben's guitar part. But here's what I think. I *think* that this is the only Lucero song that was recorded with Ben using a capo. Here's why I think that. The demo version from the bonus disc and the versions I've heard Ben play solo are all played in the key of C with an Am-G-C-F chord progression. The record and the one full-band live recording I've heard are in F with the same progression 5 half steps higher: D-C-F-Bb. It seems likely that he wrote it in C and they transposed it to F in the studio. Maybe he played it with a capo to make the switch easier. In any event, both the main riff and Ben's verses picking sound like they're played with key of C shapes. Plus, this was when Todd Gill was in the band, and the Paper Hearts songs are loaded with capos, so maybe he influenced the decision. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The point is: The Guitar 1 parts of this tab are meant to be played with a capo on the fifth fret. The chords refer to the shapes, not the notes. The second guitar, which has no capo, has its parts tabbed at the bottom. (Thankfully Ben doesn't subject us to this sort of nonsense very often.)

When You Decided to Leave

Someone asked me to add a tab for the riff that's played on the studio version of this. It's been added at the end of the tab.

Verse:
G Em7 D G Em7 Asus D

Chorus:
G D Asus G D

G___________________Em7
when you decided to leave
D_________________________G
I never asked where you'd gone
Em7_________________Asus_____________D
when you decided to leave I left you alone


G_____________________Em7
it don't mean much to me
D_____________________________G
what all you did while you're gone
Em7___________________Asus___________________D
it don't mean much to me as long as you come home


G_____________D
I try to be a good man
____Asus
but I've done so wrong for so long
Asus____________G
I don't know if I can
G_______D
ever be that man


I know that you loved me once
and I took for granted the time
I know that you loved me once
when you were mine

when you decided to leave
I was so young and so bold
the man you decided to leave
is now tired and old

I try to be a good man
but I've done so wrong for so long
I don't know if I can
ever be that man
