Does anyone have the chords for Hymn of the Big Wheel?

I want to do an acoustic guitar version of the Massive Attack/Horace Andy song Hymn of the Big Wheel but google doesn't come up with any good results for a chord sheet. Do any of you good answers people know the chords and want to pass them on.

Thanks

Hi, I'll try to get this done and post it here. If I miss the question's deadline be sure to email me so I know where to send it once I've finished it.

I put it in Eb.

Chord symbols I'm using:
Eb5 = Eb major chord with no 3 (Eb power chord): x688xx (if you want a full chord, play Eb major)
Eb4 = interval of a fourth starting on Eb: x66xxx (if you want a full chord, play Ebsus4)
Eb3 = interval of a third starting on Eb: x65xxx (if you want a full chord, play Eb major)
Eb1 = interval of an octave starting on Eb: x6x8xx (if you want a full chord, play Eb major)
Fm7no5add4: x8889x

Ignore the dashes. They're there to keep the chords from jumbling.

You'll need to paste this into Courier or another monospaced font to make it look right.

Let me know if anything sounds wrong, and I'll try to fix it.

Verse 1
- - - - - - - -Eb5
There's a hole |in my soul like a cavity
Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing

I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again

Eb3 - - - - - - - - - - - -Eb4
You'll turn green and the |sea turns red |

Eb5

Verse 2
- -Eb - - - - - - - -Eb5
We |sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in remorse in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green comes tumbling down

- - Eb3 - - - - - - - - -Eb4
Yes |close your eyes and |hold me tight

- - - - -Eb5
And I'll |show you sunset sometime again

Chorus 3

Bridge (?)
(Eb5)
As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And |all the king's men cannot |put it back again

- - - - Eb3 - - - - - - -Eb4
But the |ghetto sun will |nurture life

- - Eb5 - - - - - Eb4 - Eb3 - - - - - Eb
And |mend my soul |some |time a-|gain |
