kk just to add onto what people have been saying...
glad you went with an acoustic. when you make the transition you will find that you can make your electric sound better because it is harder to get a good sound out of the acoustic. when you use those skills on an electric, your sound will be crisper and cleaner and you can show people you can actually play without using distortion and sound nice :P.
second, please dont look up guitar tabs unless you KNOW you will be dedicated enough to learn music without getting frustrated and leaning on tabs. they dont really teach you anything except how to play the song. you dont understand where the structure of the song comes from, what has influenced it, etc. anyway, thats my tab rant.
lastly, if you dont have the means to have a teacher, try
