Where can I find the sheet music for Eleanor Rigby?

I need sheet music that’s arranged for a string quartet and vocal. I can only find arrangements for just vocal, or just strings, I’ve even found arrangements for piano and guitar and such. But I need a score for 3 Tenors, 2 violins, 1 viola and 1 cello, all in one arrangement. Can someone help me out?

I doubt that such an arrangement exists, but I have a few suggestions:

1) Use the piano/vocal arrangement. The tenors can sing the vocal part on the music or listen to the recording for harmonization (if there is any). The violins can play the top two notes of the piano part (transposed up an octave, if necessary). The cello can play the bass line from the piano part and the viola will need to transpose a line from the piano part – probably the third note from the top.

2) Use a string arrangement and sing along. This will only work if it’s in a singable key. http://www.themusicnmorestore.com/product_info.php?products_id=21306

3) Hire someone for a custom arrangement.
