    This is equivalent, possibly more useful depending on what you want the
    list for:

    http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/amalgam/tagsets/tagmenu.html

    gives tagsets for several English Corpus tagging schemes (Brown, ICE, LLC,
    LOB, Parts, POW, SEC, UPenn); for each tag, it lists words which have that
    tag in the training corpus; for open-class content wirds these
    are just examples which occurred in the corpus, but for closed-class
    function words, a (more or less) comprehensive list is given.

    You can also see examples of tags+ words in example re-tagged corpus
    context at http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/amalgam/amalgam/multi-tagged.html

    Hope this is useful
