I have the following schema, but no idea how the lyrics fit into the groove. Listening hasn't helped me much so far (and I'm fed up of singing the Lion Sleeps Tonight instead).

Code:
Eb      Ab       Eb    Bb      Eb          Ab        Eb
      Joseph's face        was       black as the night
Bb         Eb      Ab     Eb       Bb                   Eb    Ab
      The pale    yellow moon   shone bright in his eyes
Eb     Bb         Eb      Ab      Eb
                 His path  was marked
Bb        Eb              Ab              Eb
By the stars in the southern hemisphere
Bb              Eb      Ab     Eb             Bb     Eb  Ab  Eb  Bb
       And he walked his   days under African Skies

Chorus:
Eb                Ab        Eb         Bb          Eb  Ab  Eb  Bb
     This is the story of how we begin to remember
Eb                Ab          Eb          Bb          Eb  Ab  Eb  Bb
      This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
Eb                Ab        Eb           Bb               Eb  Ab  Eb  Bb
      After the dream of falling and calling your name out
Eb                     Ab                   Eb           Bb  Eb  Ab  Eb  Bb
     These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain

2nd verse  Chords stay the same

In early memory mission music
Was ringing around my nursery door
I said take this child, Lord
From Tuscon Arizona
Give her wings to fly through harmony
And she won't bother you no more

Chorus

Eb      Bb         Eb       Ab        Eb       Bb           Eb     Ab
                  Ka-oomba oomba  oomba  oh

Repeat above part four times (or eight depending on your mood) playing the
chord progression all the way through once more when done before going back
to the first verse.  Since this song is so repetive music wise, just listen
and play along a few times until you get it down and jam between any verse
you want.

Can you help me fix the schema so that the chord changes appear in the right places? Pretty please with cherries on top?
