Not to single you out and please take no offense but this is a guitar site. All songs are broken down into guitar parts--they don't cover the organ, or the drums or piano or anything else. The singing is just not a guitar part. Once you assume that fact and just learn the guitar parts, you'll be a better guitarist who understands how guitarists communicate. I would think lyrics could be burdensome to guitar player/teachers who are trying to get us to follow their cues by notes, tabs and the calling of song sections by terms like leads, rhythm etc rather than verses and choruses or bridges. The absence of lyrics never occurred to me. Similar is JamPlay. You probably won't find lyrics in the written guitar parts.
