Just joined this StackExchange to show some appreciation for Jeremy's answer above, and also add the few lines of JS I used to export the tabs list (since copying with the cursor isn't ideal!)

As Jeremy said, select Remote devices under More tools on Chrome devtools ⋮ icon (top right of the panel):

• set up USB debugging on your phone (under Settings⇒Developer options, root not required)
  • note that you must enable the Developer options menu, it's hidden by default to protect users
  • on my phone this required tapping multiple times on the build number under Settings⇒About Device
• once this is done, plug your USB in and allow MTP connection
• when the Chrome devtools remote device panel is open, the phone will then request to allow USB debugging
  • you can opt to always trust the computer

Now the device is connected,

• open a 2nd devtools view on the devtools view from which you selected Remote devices to be able to retrieve the list of tabs using JavaScript
  • note that you must have devtools in pop-out mode (use the vertical ellipsis symbol in the top right of the panel) to be able to get this up, otherwise Ctrl+J will just close the first devtools panel.
• expand the list from the first few items to all tabs by clicking 'Show more'
• to script against the list, use the following few lines of code [entered in the console of the 2nd devtools window]
  • N.B. /deep/ is the CSS selector to enter #shadow-root DOM elements

To export a list of all URLs open on Chrome for Android, I chose to just make the list into a markdown formatted text string and copy it to the clipboard

tabs = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ .device-page-list .vbox'), s => ({name: s.querySelector('.device-page-title').textContent, url: s.querySelector('.device-page-url .devtools-link').href}))
str = '';
for (i=0;i<tabs.length;i++){
  str += '['+tabs[i]['name']+']('+tabs[i]['url']+')\n'
}
copy(str)

You will then have a list on your clipboard looking like this:

Update

For some reason I'm getting an error some of the time, saying it failed to get the href attribute of a null item (when I inspect it it's an invisible node, who knows). To step around this, use this version instead:

tabs = document.querySelectorAll('div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ .device-page-list .vbox')
str = '';
for (i=0;i<tabs.length;i++){
  if (tabs[i].querySelector('.device-page-url .devtools-link') != null){
    str += '- ['+tabs[i].querySelector('.device-page-title').textContent + '](' + tabs[i].querySelector('.device-page-url .devtools-link').getAttribute('href') +')\n'
  } else {
    console.log(tabs[i])
  }
}
copy(str)
