Comments:
1. The last E in the 2nd and the 3rd Choruses start
the Solo and the Outtro/Solo.
2. In the Chorus there's surely no A and F#m.
I think my variant is closer to the original.
3. Piano chords
                 Bass    Chord
E       (here)   E      b  -  e  -  g#
Esus4   (here)   E      b  -  e  -  a
4. Guitar chords
Esus4 F#sus4 F#sus4/7
e[0]  e[x]    e[0]
b[0]  b[x]    b[0]
g[2]  g[x]    g[4]
d[2]  d[4]    d[4]
a[2]  a[4]    a[4]
e[0]  e[2]    e[2]
5. By playing F#sus4 don't touch the high 'e' and 'b' strings.
In F#sus4/7 sound all strings. 'Special stress'
is laid on e and b strings.

Verse 1:

E                                    Bm  A              E
  Faithless on the skids hung out to dry oh seen better days
                                Bm             A         E
With the sunlight fading like a    tabloid and I I have found
                          Bm                      A          E
All those double-barreled    freedom fighters are in for themselves
                       Bm                   A        F#sus4
And a call to arms has     never been about anything else

Chorus:

                     F#sus4/7  F#sus4
Fire one more round
                                  F#sus4/7  F#sus4
But hate is not a lone assailant
                         F#sus4/7  F#sus4
Hear the drummers pound
                               E  Bm
Listen to the homespun violent sound

Verse 2:

E                                   Bm     A              E
  Hatred on the prowl underneath an oh new guise garb and gown
                       Bm                       A            E
And he's so persuasive     when you look in his eyes all dumbfound
                       Bm                A                   E
And the double-talkin'    politicians expose their intimate lives
                           Bm                      A              F#sus4
While the sheep are lowing    for the shepherd to show he never arrives

Chorus:

Fire one more round
                                  F#sus4/7  F#sus4
But hate is not a lone assailant
                         F#sus4/7  F#sus4
Hear the drummers pound

Listen to the homespun violent sound
E  Bm

Middle part:

D
Ooh I'll tell you how it
A
Pains to say this
E           D
Ugliness is ours
                      A
'Cause I would better lay in bed and
G
Maybe even sleep all day
                 F#m7
Maybe sleep some more
      E
Some more

In the jungles of the Midwest dwarf militia     train for war right on course
                        Bm                   A                 E
Unlike the famous fable    revolution won't yield a firework show
                        Bm                  A               F#sus4
Unlike the famous fable    revolution won't end on July the Fourth

P.S. How to play Homespun's Chorus on the piano:
1.
Use the following chord:
                 Bass    Chord
F#sus4(7)         F#     f# -  b  -  c# -  e
2.                                                        F#sus4(7)
Play it in the end of the Verse (For example: '...anything else...')
and press the pedal to let it sound longer. Instead of F#sus4/7 chord
mentioned in the guitar transcription above play just the 'E' bass note,
while this F#sus4(7) sounds. This 'E' bass should be located HIGHER
then the 'F#' bass note of the F#sus4(7) chord.
*****
         F#sus4(7)------(still sounds)--------------------
anything else
---------------------'E'-'E'-'E'--F#suus4(77))---------------
Fire one more round
----------------------------------'E'--'E'--''E'--F#sus4(7)--
But hate is not a lone assailant
----------------------------------'E'--'E'--''E'--F#sus4(7)--
Hear the drummers pound
------------------------------ E  Bm
Listen to the homespun violent sound
*****
3.
Let the pedal go up before 'refreshing' the F#sus4(7) chord and pressing 
it
again.
