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.
