BLACK FRANK - "czar" Tablature

Official BLACK FRANK Tablature & Sheet Music »

From: ejs@world.std.com (Eric J Schwarzenbach)

I found this tab of Czar at a Nevada mirror site and made a few corrections.
These corrections are:

1) Replaced the open E chord at the end of the Verse Riff with a higher bar
chord (the riff definitely rises at the end).
2) Modified the A E F# chord progression that occurs at the end of each verse
"Band . . ." "Thanks . . ." "No . . ." with A G# F# (the progression definitely
descends).
3) Added the florish in the middle of the chorus (at the end of the line
"who has sung his bars") E F F# (I think there's a musical name for this florish
but I can't think of it).

I'd be happy to hear any feedback.

You have to listen closely to the recording to hear the
Em/E/Esus thingy he does after the B...

The timing is pretty easy to learn, and I tried to indicate
it as close as I could with the lyrics.

The Song:

(Riff x 2)

(Riff)
Time... If he could travel

(Riff)
Time... He would have been on

(Riff)
Time... Instead of making

(Riff)
Rhyme... He didn't need a

A G# F#
Band...

N.C. (Riff)
He was a moutain man

(Riff)
Oil... The national

(Riff)
Turmoil.... They hide it in the

(Riff)
Soil... I say no read head

(Riff)
Spoil... Just singing

A G# F#
Thanks...

N.C. (Riff x 2 w/ only bass strings)
I've got my own gas tanks

Chorus:

F# G# C#m
And there's no time for the man

A E E F F#
Who has sung his bars

F#
And there's no time

G# C#m A E
And there's no time for the man called Czar

(Riff)
Blue... Extrodinary

(Riff)
Blue... Ten million port hole

(Riff)
Views... They're saying on the

(Riff)
News... The Russians just say

A G# F#
No...

N.C.
You can't go

(Chorus)
