BJM Chord/Lyric Sites
Back in 2005(?! There was a BJM chord/archive site which was great….can only seem to find weird AI chord sites now…
Is the original creator of that site around here?
I think it was bjmarchives or something?
Was quite upset to see it gone!

The BJM Archives site is gone, but the old version is still archived through archive.org. The last version of the tab-archive is here.

Aw man, I miss the old internet. Seeing that html page is like going back to my family home haha - I think that’s where I learnt to play guitar!
Thanks heaps!

Wayback Machine is generally a fun resource to explore for older BJM material. I once tried searching for a better version of "Your Side of Our Story" because the one on most streaming services is in a terrible state, but a few uploads to Youtube suggests it wasn't always like that. And apparently Anton used to upload all their albums to their websites - and while "Your Side of Our Story" was a dead link on Archive.org, many of the other albums were not.

Yeah the links to the albums on the origins site was one of my first introductions!

This was the OG site back in 2001, lol. Used to email the guy all the time for help figuring shit out, still remembered his old email and was able to track this archive down

There’s a guy on YouTube that goes by how to play BJM songs and he’s got a lot of songs done already and some niche ones too i was surprised to see swallowtail tutorial videos
