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...

I Heard Ramona Sing

In case you hadn't guessed, this song is a Ramones tribute song.
Frank continues to impress with the bizarre chord progressions.

Here's a revised version of FB's Los Angeles -- the
intro was right before, but the rest was way off.
Please don't ask me what I was smoking, or where you
can get some.

This might be easier to play if you tune down a step. I think
that's how it's done on the record. The closing progression
was a bitch to figure, but I think I have it. Anyone have any
idea who Desmond Dekker is?
Opening riff:
