Frank Black - Czar guitar tab

#

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:
