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. laura-- [email protected] ******************************************************************** easy, simple rock beat-- really easy to follow with the orig. recording Ariel - Dean Freidman G D way on the other side of the hudson G deep in the bosom of suburbia G D i met a young girl she sang mighty fine G "tears on my pillow" and "ave maria". B7 Em B7 standing by the water fall in paramus park Em A she was working for the friends of B.A.I. D A she was collecting quarters in a paper cup D she was looking for change (and so was i). G D she was a jewish girl i fell in love with her G she wrote her number on the back of my hand D i called her up i was all out of breath i said G "come hear me play in a rock and roll band". B7 Em B7 i took a shower and put on my best blue jeans Em A i picked her up in my new VW van D A she wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath D i said "hi" she said "yeah i guess i am." G D G D a--riel (aaa...)a--riel ... G D we had a little time we were real hungry G we went to dairy queen for something to eat G D she had an onion ring she had a pickle G she forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat. B7 Em B7 i had a gig in the american legion hall Em A it was a dance for the volunteer ambulance corps D A she was sittin in a corner against the wall D she would smile and i melted all over the floor. G D G D a--riel (aaa...)a--riel.. (sax solo) G D G D G B7 Em B7 Em A D A D G D i took her home with me (we) watchin' tv G annette funicello and some guy goin' steady D i started foolin' around with the vertical hold G we got the munchies and i made some spaghetti.
