This is the CORRECT version of this song.Trust me, I looked at MANY live clips of Daniel Johns playing, and listened to the song a lot, so this is about 99.9% correct. I was just going to post the live solo, but decided to post the whole song because I wanted to post a near perfect version. The live solo is at the end of the file (I know he plays this solo in the version of the song on the DVD "Live from Faraway Stables", maybe at other shows too).
