Andrew Bird - MX Missles
If you're a play along with the track kind of person, this will disappoint you.  
It's a standalone version that's easy to play.
Seen Andrew play F#7 like this for MX Missles:
E-F#7-0--|  
B--2--|  
G--3--|  
D--4--| 
A-----|  
E-----|  
And plays most bar chords on those four high strings.  The album version has the capo
way up but all live versions are without.
Intro:
Bm  F#  Bm  F#  G  D  F#  G  G  D  G  D  E  A  F#
Bmthose that will judge will say you're aloof  
Bmbut you know the truth is a seed you know what you neEed  
is a conflagraAtion  F#7  
cause when BmI see your blood and the bits of your broken tooth  
it gBmives me the proof that I need it's the proof that you Ebleed  
and it's a reveAlation / yeah it's a revelDation / it's a revelatF#7ion F#

Bmcolor of your blood what you're afrF#7aid of  
Gare you made of calcium or aDre you carbon based 
cause if you're mF#ade of calcium I'll haGve to take a taste  
'Cause listen, Gcalcium is deadly, but tDender to the tooth  
but it's one sGure-fire way to know if you're mDx-missile proof  
oh Eno, or if you're just aloofA  A7  
Bmand you were in the ground in late NovF#7ember  
Bmthough the leaves and earth were dF#7amp
