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)
