Dean Freidman – Ariel tab

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.

 deep in the bosom of suburbia
