This is a correct, easy to play version of the song. It was originally written in the key of F, but I transposed it to E. The song is written in 3/4, so I like to play it picking the root note and then the bottom strings twice to emphasize the whimsical nature of the melody. I also tried to place the chords above the right syllable, didn't have a lot of luck struggling with the formatting though.
