This song made it's debut during the summer 2006 tour, and as far as I know, as of now
is no studio version. This is what I could come up with based on the best quality
recordings I have of the song (with two different lead guitarists, but the parts are
similar). 2006-09-27 has Chris (who played electric guitar) and Rich Robinson totally audible,
Paul Stacey is nowhere to be found on the verses/choruses, while 2006-07-23 sounds like
mic was placed in front of Marc Ford's amp. There's a lot of improvisation on every part
Intro (Chris):

This can be heard clear as day on the 2006-07-23 recording.
