Guitar songs what I found challenging

In Guitar through the past weeks we have been learning five songs they are called Cotton Fields, He Honore, Hoki Mai, Ten Guitars and Wimoweh the challenging thing about those songs are either change from A to G and from D to E but all of the songs had all of the chords these are the pictures of the lyrics
and chords of the songs. But I can't find the lyrics/chords for Hoki mai
and He honore sorry also can't find chords/lyrics to ten guitars.

What Did I learn in guitar

Today we did the song the lion  is sleeping tonight the tricky part was switching from D to G. and then on wednesday we learnt how to play E then Mrs Gibson told us to learn E,D,A the challenging part of learning E was putting my fingers in the right place. Then I tried playing 10 Guitars with E instead of G and it simply turned out great again it was hard switching to E from A. I feel like guitar has really helped me with my learning for festival of the arts.
