Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. I stay out too late
    Got nothing in my brain
    That's what people say, mmm-mmm
    That's what people say, mmm-mmm

    I go on too many dates
    But I can't make them stay
    At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
    That's what people say, mmm-mmm

    But I keep cruising
    Can't stop, won't stop moving
    It's like I got this music
    In my mind
    Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

    'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
    And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
    Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
    I shake it off, I shake it off
    Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
    And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
    Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
    I shake it off, I shake it off

    I never miss a beat
    I'm lightning on my feet
    And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
    That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

    I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
    I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
    And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
    That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

    But I keep cruising
    Can't stop, won't stop grooving
    It's like I got this music
    In my mind
    Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

    'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
    And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
    Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
    I shake it off, I shake it off
    Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
    And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
    Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
    I shake it off, I shake it off

    Shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

    Hey, hey, hey
    Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
    You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

    My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
    She's like "Oh, my God!" but I'm just gonna shake.
    And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
    Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake

    Yeah ohhh

    'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
    And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
    I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
    I shake it off, I shake it off
    Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
    And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
    Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
    I shake it off, I shake it off

    Shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

    Shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

    Shake it off, I shake it off,

    I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
