Em           Em9       Em          Em9 
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings 
G           C         Am       B7 
These are a few of my favorite things 
Em            Em9        Em          Em9 
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs 
G           C         Am       B7 
These are a few of my favorite things 
Em                   Am             B7 
  When the dog bites,  when the bee stings 
Em                 C 
  When I'm feeling sad 
  C                  A7 
I simply remember my favorite things 
    G            C    C#dim  
And then I don't feel 
D7 G  D7 G  
So  bad
