Lucero - The Prayer

Bb...Eb...Bb
Bb...F...Bb


..........Bb..........Eb.......................Bb
Lord I pray for strength in this moment of darkness

...............................F....................Eb
when I'm forced to fight a fellow man

..............Bb.........F....................Eb
may my wits be keen and my aim be true Lord

..Bb..........F............Bb
to feel the pistol in hand

Lord I may not be alive tomorrow
no second chance to serve thy will
but before I should fall to my killer's fast pistol
that he'll go to if I'm killed

righteousness and truth are both my allies
with you by my side I'm at ease
for if death or life waits tomorrow
I know I'll have honor and peace

so guide my shot to its mark Lord
may your might and wrath be felt
may your strength flow freely through my hands Lord
may your swift justice be dealt

Lord I may not be alive tomorrow
no second chance to serve thy will
but before I should fall to my killer's fast pistol
that he'll go to if I'm killed

Lucero - Into Your Eyes

D
Well I'm not supposed to see you looking
G
I'm not supposed to stare straight into your eyes
D
Into your eyes
A
Well I'm not supposed to kiss your lips
G
But you smile so sweet
D
I can't resist those eyes

D
Well you say you might have eyes for me
G
I can only wish that you were mine
D
That you were mine
A
Well I'm not supposed to be here with you
G
But how can I leave
D
If you look at me with those eyes
G
Into your eyes


A
Well I'm not supposed to kiss your lips
G
But you smile so sweet
D
I can't resist those eyes

A
And I'm not supposed to kiss your lips
G
But you smile so sweet

I can't resist those eyes

Lucero - Sing Me No Hymns

E................................................G
The rain'll wash away the piss and blood

............A
But the water's not enough

.............G.....................D
To wash away the things that I've done


So I just keep on moving all the same
The mountains they ain't far
And up there they don't know my name

Sing me no hymns
When I get home
Leave them with God
Leave me alone

I will do as I feel need be done
To pay back what I owe
For all the blood and all the lost ones

Until I feel the proper time has come
Leave me be and let me drink
I need none of your good intentions

Lucero - I Don't Wanna Be the One

A............................G................................D
I don't wanna be the one who misses you at night

A..................................G..............................D
And I don't wanna be the one who's always left behind

A...................................G.....................................D
And I don't wanna be the one who's standing in your way

A...................................G............................D
And I don't wanna be the one who loses everything


G......................D
When I wake up I wonder where you are

G...............................D
Late at night I've been taking it way too far

G.....................A........................D
It's too much to take can't be the one

I don't wanna be the one to walk this endless street
And I don't wanna be the one with no where else to be
And I don't wanna be the one who wants you so damn much
And I don't wanna be the one who's running out of luck

(3x)
When I wake up I wonder where you are
Late at night I've been taking it way too far
It's too much to take can't be the one

I don't wanna be the one who misses you at night
And I don't wanna be the one who's always left behind
And I don't wanna be the one who's standing in your way
And I don't wanna be the one who loses everything

G
First time I saw it half asleep and broken hearted

.....................C
They strapped half stacks to roof racks and drove to the parties

Am
Nothing like home with the cold summer nights

..................F.......................................C
They played songs for the girls and they drank till daylight


GG.........GG..............C
Sunk my heart at the bottom of the bay

GG.......GG.................C
Gonna wash up on the black rocks one day

......GG........GG.............C
Like unlucky sailors just swept out to sea

..D
I think all the girls I've loved walked through your streets

...........C
But the waves and the fog always took 'em from me

The Oakland apartments with the bars underneath 'em
The girlfriends and sweethearts and the bay in between 'em
I buried my heart at the bottom of the hill
If the girlfriends don't get you the sweethearts sure will

Only nineteen, so easy to forget
Do you wake up every morning and thank god for those legs
North to Santa Rosa and south to Santa Cruz
The Humboldt House, The Boardwalk, and the homemade tattoos
