Artist: Sum 41
Song: The Jester
Album: Underclass Hero
Its standard tuning.
I'm pretty sure a piano starts off the song.
Then the guitar comes in.
July 6th Update: I'm updating the verses because people commented that a few of the
are wrong. I've listened to the song again, and its not a few, its only one. I've also
the bridge and thanks to RockinTheIbanez for pointing that out.
