Need help to figure out the tones of these songs

Hello, I've recently purchased a xylophone with 16 tones (8 are the same but lower and 8 are the same but higher) and I'm having trouble figuring out how to play certain songs on it. I have no idea how to read notes and stuff like that so I'm looking for a way to see what tones and in what order I should hit (so like GHGJA etc.). So far I've only been able to find what I need for children's songs, but nothing else. Youtube videos are super fast and confusing and the instrument is usually different as well (it has parts that mine doesn't). Can someone help me?

I don't need it to be 100% perfect and accurate, all I need is the main part of these songs to work. Thanks.
