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)
