Explanation

To play the accompaniment for this song, you only need three keys: the F, B♭, and C. In the third and fourth lines, there are three notes stacked on top of each other. You must play all three notes at the same time. The easiest way to do this is to play the top two notes with your right hand and the bottom note with your left hand.

The transition to the next chord always is on a short chord. This can be tricky. If you always skip that one chord (so the 'a' from a - wee - ma - weh), you can maybe play the whole song a bit faster. (Just to be sure: you should play each chord seven times.)

You can repeat the part between the dotted barlines a few times.
