You should get them into the Beatles, there are so many tabs and chord books available, the first songs I ever learnt were from the Beatles 1 album, my dad bought me a book with all the chords in and although there are some tricky ones, there are a good handful of simple yet brilliant songs. Take any augmented, suspended and diminished chords and turn them into 2 string power chords and see if the song still works just for the purposes of teaching.

With woolly fleece so soft and clean,

I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night.

Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night. Return to top

Little Bo Peep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can’t tell where to find them.
Leave them alone, And they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating; But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For still they all were fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook, Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they’d left all their tails behind ’em!
It happened one day, as Bo-peep did stray
Unto a meadow hard by–
There she espied their tails, side by side, All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye, And over the hillocks she raced;
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed. Return to top

For if I do, he’s sure to cry. Return to top

Row, row, row your boat
Row, row, row your boat
Gently Down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Alternative Version
Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream
and if you see a crocodile,
don’t forget to scream
Aghhhh!
Or.
Row Row Row Your Boat
Gently down the stream
You throw your teacher overboard
And listen to her screamReturn to top
This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried, "Wee! Wee! Wee!"
All the way home.
