This is my attempt to represent the tune to the first song.

I have to type fast because the place I'm working is about to close.

The top line is the chords. The second line is the notes. The fourth line is the rhythm. "8" is an eighth-note, "4" a quarter-note, "2" a half-note. "d" stands for a dot. It's in 6/4 time. Unfortunately, I don't have time to check the position of the bar lines, which the vertical characters should represent. The underscores are just there to keep the browser and/or forum software from collapsing the spaces. With a fixed-width font, everything should line up properly.

Anyone who wants to play this is invited to add his or her own twiddly bits.

I've got a melody and chords for number 5, "Mambrino's Helmet", but not enough time to type it in. I haven't written melodies for the others.
