Chords for "Weird Al" Yankovic - Skipper Dan (Official 4K Video)

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] I _ _ _ [Eb]
starred in [C] every high [Ab] school play, _ [Eb] blew every drama teacher [Ab] away.
[Bb] _ _
[Eb] Graduated first [Ab] in my class [Db] at [Eb] _ Juilliard.
_ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] Took every acting workshop [Ab] I could, [Db] _
[Eb] and I dreamed of [Ab] Hollywood. _ _
[Eb] While I read my [Ab] Udah Hagen, [Fm] who [Eb] studied the Bard.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _
[Eb] Paid the boards and paid [Ab] my dues, [Eb] _
and got phenomenal rave reviews. _
I knew the world was gonna love [Ab] me, without [Eb] a doubt.
_ _ [Ab] I was sure [Eb] that Tarantino would be calling me on [Db] my phone,
[Eb] and he'd leave a visit to me [Ab] for Rolling Stone.
[Eb] But the years have come [Db] and gone, and I'm sorry [Ab] to say,
that's not the way that it's all worked out.
[Eb] I'm a [Bb] tour [Ab] guide on the Jungle [Eb] Cruise ride, Stiff [Eb]-a-Dan [Bb] is the name. _
[Cm] And I'm doing [Gm] 34 [Ab] shows [Eb] every day, [Ab] and every time it's the [Bb] same. _ _
[Cm] Look at those hippos [Gm] with wings in their [Ab] ears,
just like they've done [Bb] for the last 50 years.
[Eb] Now I'm laughing at [Bb] my own jokes, [Ab] but I'm crying [Eb] inside,
[Ab] cuz I'm working [Bb] on the Jungle Cruise ride. _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Oh, the critics, they used [Ab] to say, [Eb] I was the new _ [Ab] Olivier.
_ _ [Eb] Thought I'd be the toast [Ab] of [Bb] Sundance, or [Eb] maybe Cannes. _
[Ab] _ _ But [Eb] don't bother trying [Ab] to IMDB me, [Eb] the only place you [Ab] might possibly see me,
[Eb] is riding my little [Ab] boat around _ Adventureland.
It ain't exactly what I [Eb] planned, but I'm a tour [Bb] guide [Eb] on the Jungle Cruise ride,
[Ab] Stiff [Eb]-a-Dan is [Bb] the name.
_ [Cm] And I'm doing [Gm] 34 [Ab] shows [Eb] every day, [Ab] and every time it's [Bb] the same.
_ _ [Cm] I would have killed if [Gm] I'd met his feet to plow,
[Ab] but what's the difference?
[Bb] That's all behind me now, cuz [Eb] I'm paying [Bb] the rent,
and [Ab] I'm swallowing [Eb] my pride, and [Ab] I'm working [Bb] on the Jungle [Eb] Cruise ride.
_ _ [Gb] _ I should be there [Ab] on Broadway, knocking [Db] them dead, [Cm] it's 12 Angry [Bb] Men.
[Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ But instead I'm [Ab] here telling these lame jokes [Bb] again, and again, and again, and again,
and again, and again, and again.
_ EEEEEEEHHH!
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] Bengal [Ab] tigers can [Eb] jump over 20 feet tall! _ _
[Bb] That's an African gull elephant!
[C] _ _ [Gm] _
[Ab] America is the [Eb] black side of [Ab] water! _ _
[Bb] What have I done with my life?
[Cm] I should've listened [Gm] when my grandfather said,
[Ab] why don't you major [Bb] in business instead.
Now [Eb] my hopes have [Bb] all vanished, [Ab] and my dreams have [Eb] all died,
[Ab] And our family [Bb] was forever.
[Eb] I'm the tour [Bb] guide [Ab] on the Jumbo [Eb] Cruise Ride.
[Ab] Skip [Eb] a dentist [Bb] roommate. _ _
[Cm] And I'm doing [Gm] 34 [Ab] shows every [Eb] day.
[Ab] Every time it's [Bb] the same. _
[Cm] Who doesn't hate a vote [Gm] for winning when they're here?
[Ab] Somebody shoot me [Bb] cause I'm bored to tears.
[Eb] Always said I'd be [Bb] famous.
[Ab] I guess that [Eb] I lied [Ab] cause I'm working on the Jumbo [Cm] Cruise Ride.
[Bb] _
[Ab] I'm still working [Bb] on the Jumbo [Eb] Cruise Ride. _ _
