Czar (Frank Black) ~~~~ 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. --ejs@world.std.com (Eric Schwarzenbach) ------------------------------------------------------------- Czar (Frank Black) ~~~~ The lyrics are from memory, please correct!

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...
