Hey - here's the tab for Armchairs from Armchair Apocrypha. The chord changes are
close but not completely lined up right (this kind of took forever). Its a pretty
song and there are lots more licks and probably a few chord changes, but this should be
at least. Enjoy

C G
CI dreamed you were a cosmonaut
Gof the space between our chairs
CAnd I was a cartographer
Gof the tangles in your hair
FI sang the song that silence sings
FIt's the one that everybody knows, everybody Cknows
The song that silence sings
And this is how it Ggoes
(2nd fill)
CThese looms that weave apocrypha
Gthey're hanging from a strand
CThe dark and empty rooms were full
Gof incandescent hands
FThe awkward pause
FThe fatal flaw
FTime, it's a crooked bow
Time is a crooked Cbow
CIn time you need to learn, to love
The ebb just like the Gflow
D7Grab hold of your B5bootstraps, and pull like Emhell
until gravity feels sorry for Amyou, and lets you gDo
As if you Glack the proper chemicals to Cknow, C/Boh
tAmhe way it felt the last time you B5let yourself Ffall this low
Time's a crooked Cbow
Time's a crookedF#/D7 bow
Time, it's a crooked Fbow G C
FFifty-five and tGhree-eighths years later
FAt the bottom ofG a gigantic crater
FAn armchair calls to Gyou
Yeah, thiFs armchair calls tGo you
It says,C someday, we'll get back at them all
With epoxy and a pair of Gpliers
CAs ancient sea slugs begin to crawl
Gthrough the ragweed and barbed wire
CYou didn't write
You didn't Gcall
FIt didn't cross your mind at Gall
CThrough the waves
waves of hay and Gstraw
FYou couldn't feel a thing at Gall
FFifty-five and three-eighths
GTime
Fifty-five and three-eighths
Time

F to G repeats, end on F.
