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
I dreamed you were a cosmonaut
G
of the space between our chairs
C
And I was a cartographer
G
of the tangles in your hair
F
I sang the song that silence sings
F C
It's the one that everybody knows, everybody knows
The song that silence sings
G
And this is how it goes
(2nd fill)
C
These looms that weave apocrypha
G
they're hanging from a strand
C
The dark and empty rooms were full
G
of incandescent hands

The awkward pause

The fatal flaw

Time, it's a crooked bow

Time is a crooked bow

In time you need to learn, to love

The ebb just like the flow

Grab hold of your bootstraps, and pull like hell

until gravity feels sorry for you, and lets you go

As if you lack the proper chemicals to know, oh

An armchair calls to you

Yeah, this armchair calls to you

It says, someday, we'll get back at them all

With epoxy and a pair of pliers

As ancient sea slugs begin to crawl

through the ragweed and barbed wire

You didn't write

You didn't call

It didn't cross your mind at all

waves of hay and straw

Excellent tab, very accurate and well done. There are a few changes/additions, though.
Firstly, the fill should be a little different:
Then, the first time he says "time's a crooked bow", instead of going directly to C, there should be a Fm first, when he says "time."
Lastly, on "crawl" of "ancient seaslugs begin to crawl" you might want to play 032000, not sure which variation of C that is; I forgot the name. This is the chord I play instead of C/B as well, by the way.
Oops, that should be the SECOND time he says "time's a crooked bow," when he says it three times in a row. He says it like:
This is another fill and I know it' s played on piano but I like adding it in on guitar.
A few notes:
The second time he says "Fifty-five and three-eighths" it's not an F over that line. It stays on G until he says "Time".
There's an Fm in every section with "Time's a crooked bow."
At "all" in "someday, we'll get back at them all," it goes from C to Cmaj7 (X32000)
I think your B5 should be B7.
