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

wiggling their ears

Just like they've done for the last 
50 years

        C#m            B          
Now I'm laughing at my own jokes, 
        A        E

Oh the critics they used to say, I

Thought I'd be the toast of 
Sundance, or maybe Cannes

Ah, but don't bother trying to IMDB

The only place you might possibly

 Speed-the-Plow

A                                
But what's the difference that's all
B
 behind me now
