Most people think it's this one....



But it's not. Well, not really. They actually took from an orchestral version of the song which was produced by Andrew Oldham, the original manager/producer of the Stones. He released it as part of a side project which he called The Andrew Oldham Orchestra on which members of the Stones served as session musicians for many of the songs. Here it is. It's actually quite similar to Bittersweet.
