If someone were to ask for tabs for a song, and all I have is chords and lyrics, I will politely tell them that I have chords but no tabs. But I dont know people who ask, so it doesnt happen so often that it tires me.
I assume that the misconception about the word "tabs" derives from the tabs/chords search pages.
They probably made the website hoping for people to upload tabs, and branded them as tab search, promising tabs.
Then the users upload chords and lyrics in stead, because that is what they have. And people googling for songs see the chords on search pages where the word tab appears all over. And hence get the wrong impression.
