Curious George: Best lyrics sites? I often have to find lyrics so I can transcribe (or at least learn) songs that my guitar students have requested. Everything from Hillary Duff to Harry Chapin or Third Eye Blind (that's just this afternoon). A Google search usually results in a heapload of crap (poor formatting, spelling, inaccurate, etc.).
