  Despite this site's front page - currently featuring a bunch of Nashville hat acts - the Cowboy Lyrics database has lyrics and tabs for songs from all eras and to suit a variety of tastes on a countrified tip:  Gillian Welch, Jesse Sykes and Neko Case are featured alongside the Carter Family, Hank, Loretta et al, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, and more indie-ish bands like the Silver Jews, Clem Snide and the Jayhawks. Can't vouch for the accuracy of the tabs (it's all user-generated content, with a number of different suggestions posted for certain popular songs) but explorations thus far suggest they're a good place to start. A good resource; I'm now off to have a go at Gillian's Caleb Mayer...
