 This is a cool song from Live's latest album. The album's really good,
 but it's something that definitely grows on you as you listen to it.
 Tune a 1/2 step down, as per usual for about 99% of Live's songs.

 That's pretty much it; just listen to the song to figure out where
 everything goes. Oh, and the outro is the same as the intro.
