A quick guide to Wild Man Dave’s Lyrics Pages

This page answer many of the questions I get from the general user. Other questions specific to using ChordPro are addressed on the Using ChordPro FAQ page. You may have a question, too; if so, please feel free to e-mail me, or post in my guestbook by clicking on the link above.

Is it illegal for anyone to create, trade or own lyrics files?

Hell, I don’t know. I ask ten lawyers, I get maybe four different answers, and if I probe further, I get fifteen possible strategies of defense if I am sued. My policy is: I ain’t sellin’ it, I’m giving it away. You can sue me for all the proceeds that I am making for this site. If you can find me.

Where did you get these files?

Some I wrote, and some I found. LEO’s OLGA page, although a static site that hasn’t had a lot of contributors lately, is one of my favorites for just the lyrics. There are also Usenet groups that have this stuff. Do a search for “lyrics” on any search engine; you’ll find a bunch of pages and newsgroups that do this.

Do you have any, like, more modern stuff, y’know, dude, like, from this century?

Um, well... not a lot. Hmm... I have a Til Tuesday song... that modern enough for you?

Not really.

Well, thanks for stopping by.

Do you not like modern music?

Well, if by modern you mean the stuff that has come out between a month ago and last Wednesday, I honestly can’t tell you because I just don’t listen to the radio; I don’t have time and probably never will. Most broadcast media has sucked since MTV hit the cable TV line-up. I finally finished trying to figure out that major 9th chord in the middle eight of  “Company” by Rickie Lee Jones (Rickie Lee Jones, Warner Brothers 1978).

Where do you get off?

52nd and Avenue G.

No, seriously, some of these chords/lyrics are totally wrong. Don’t you even proofread this stuff?

No. But you can by just downloading the files, and trying to play / sing the song. And if you find any wrong chords / lyrics then e-mail me. I’ll probably change it and upload it to the website for free.
