Mike, it would have been even better if you had given us this link.

The lyrics are not bad, but they only extract the horror and clash-of-civilizations part from Camus's story. The latter is rather about religion.

The music is not really sophisticated, but Weighell does a decent job to make it sound eerie with minimal equipment.

Here are your chords:

Verse:
Em
|:Em D Em B
Em D C B :|

Chorus:
C Em C Em C Em D Em

BTW, Mike, if you tend to "go blue in your face", you should see a doctor. At Mudcat, a thread is about all aspects of a song, not only the OP's request. For best chances, supply all the necessary informations, say "please" (or, second-rate, your "thank you" in advance), and perhaps give a reason for your request such as "I want to sing it at my cousin's wedding" (well, not this song ...). Other exclamations are not likely to help.

Hope you are happy now, and your blood pressure is back to normal.
