Skipper Dan (Acoustic Ver)- Weird Al Yankovic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Steve Sherwin 'theelusivesound'
Tune your guitar a half step down for this song
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
*This is how I play the song
Intro Riff/Verse
NOTE: The last note isn't played the same as the electric guitar does it in the song,
however it makes it easier to play by yourself on an acoustic guitar.

I stared in every high school play
Blew every drama teacher away
Graduated first in my class at Juilliard
Took every acting workshop I could
And I dreamed of Hollywood
While I read my Uda Hagen
And studied the Bard
