Great !
Now, after "Skylarking", here's the 17 songs of "Nonsuch" (well 16, because there's no bass in "Rook") tabbed !
It was harder, because it was longer, and also because sometimes the bass was mixed pretty low, so maybe tabs like "Humble Daisy" or "Wrapped In Grey" are inaccurate.
Cheers

In "Dear Madam Barnum," at the end of the chorus, when the pattern
switches from

C    F    C    G7

to

C    F    C    G C,

the final chord is not C but Cadd2 (X32033).  It is easy to play this
chord if you play G as 320033; it's just a matter of moving fingers 1
and 2 over one string.

Dear Madam Barnum
by XTC
G#+ = 4567xx

[C F Em G]
I put on a fake smile
And start the evening show
The public is laughing
I guess by now they know
So climb from your high horse
And pull this freak show down
Dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown [C F Em G C]

[Fm G# C G#+ D G]
You said I was the master of all I surveyed
But now I'm sweeping up
The last in line in your circus parade

[C F Em G]
Children are clapping
As I fall to the floor
My heart torn and broken
And they just scream for more
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown [C F Em G C]

[Am Bb Dm Em G]
You tread the high wire
Between truth and lies
Your safety net just walked out
Much to your surprise

[C F Em G]
Strike up the band love
And let the show begin
For this is the last time
I'm painting on a grin
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
[C F Em G] 2x
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
[C F Em G C]

Okay, first some disclaimers.  In many places I did not try to figure
out Exactly what was going on - I listened to the music and tried to
figure out what chords I would play if I were to accompanying on on
the piano.  So probably many of the guitar chords are simpler than
I've made them out to be.  Also, in some places where I've indicated
how to voice chords, it is just how I find it convenient, and not
necessarily what they are doing on the record.  I also left out lots
of bass stuff, only including it where I thought it was important.
But everything should be pretty close.  Comments and corrections are
welcome!

Voicings are notated with low E on the left, high E on the right.

* often Colin plays D and then G under this chord
** actually, along with the vocals, it's more like a Bb13#7, but this
   sounds fine on the guitar...
