Dear Father

Artist: Sum 41
Song: Dear Father
Album: Underclass Hero

Good Song. You should listen to it. Ok, this song is in standard tuning.
This was pretty hard to tab out because there are bells, i think piano, in this song as 
as guitars and bass.

Intro (on second time, i think its a piano that comes in so don't get confused)
