The Jester by Sum 41
The Jester
Tuning standard
Bm
Bm F#
A jester of sorts you stand holding your courts
G D A/C#
Over minions on Capitol Hill
G Em
In a bath full of blood I'm alone standing still
Bm F# Bm
Under God you can fire at will
Bm G
When the devil's angels come
D
To take your life and lead you
F#
To the flamers beneath
Bm
Your headstone reads now
G
Here lies the dead who was
D
Hung by his head beneath us
F#
They're laying in their graves
F#
Damnation free for all
Bm
Bm F#
A prodigal son can't undo what he's done
G D A/C#
A figurehead of capitol crime
G
With a light shining down
Em
As you fall to your kness
Bm F# Bm
To repent would be nothing but lies
Bm G
When the devil's angels come
D
To take your life and lead you
F#
To the flamers beneath
Bm
Your headstone reads now
G
Here lies the dead who was
D
Hung by his head beneath us
F#
They're laying in their graves

Damnation free for all

^ there should go the solo which i won't be tabbing here those, notes maybe don't make
cause Deryck keeps on playing live single notes of Bm - G - D - F# though it sounds good
you want to replace the solo with 'chords' [half timed]
Bm G F#
Deadbeat six feet dead underground
Bm Bm
An eye for an eye only leaves us all blind
G F#
Going once twice there goes your life
Bm G
When the devil's angels come

To take your life and lead you

version 3
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.
