Introduction:

           Em 
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
 Em 
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
 Am7                   D             G                       C 
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
 G                     C                 Am7           B7 
These are a few of my favorite things
 Em 
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
 Em 
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
 Am7                         D                       G                         C 
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
 G                     C                 Am7           B7 
These are a few of my favorite things
 E 
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
 E 
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
 Am7                     D                     G                   C 
Silver white winters that melt into springs
 G                     C                 Am             B7 
These are a few of my favorite things
 Em 
When the dog bites
 B7 
When the bee stings
 Em                             C 
When I'm feeling sad
     C                                     Am7 
I simply remember my favorite things
         D                               D7   G 
And then I don't feel so bad
