There was a little girl
By Longfellow

C Em
There was a little girl
Am Em
Who had a little curl
F C G
Right in the middle of her forehead.
F C 
When she was good,
G Am
She was very good indeed,
C G
But when she was bad
A7
She was horrid.

The Moon
By Robert Louis Stevenson 

Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Em
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall; 
Fmaj7 Am7 Em7
She shines on thieves on the garden wall, 
F C G Fmaj7
On streets and fields and harbour quays, 
Eb Bb G# Gm
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. 

The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, 
The howling dog by the door of the house, 
The bat that lies in bed at noon, 
All love to be out by the light of the moon. 

But all of the things that belong to the day 
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; 
And flowers and children close their eyes 
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise. 

The Rainbow
By Christina Rossetti 

Cm Gm
Boats sail on the rivers,
Cm Gm
And ships sail on the seas;
Bb F
But clouds that sail across the sky
Gm C
Are prettier than these.
Cm Gm
There are bridges on the rivers,
Cm Gm
As pretty as you please;
Bb F
But the bow that bridges heaven,
Gm C
And overtops the trees,
D7
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Gm F Dm Gm
Is prettier far than these.
