this is for my daughter, ariel(presently age 6 1/2).
she's been bugging me to type out the lyrics to this song,
so i figured i might as well type out the chords as well & submit it!
a fun song that i first heard back in 1977 or '78.
(i named my kid for this song,
not the friggin' "little mermaid", dammit!!)
as always, any corrections,comments, suggestions, feedback, donations are welcome.
