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'm a-gonna raise a fuss
    I'm a-gonna raise a holler
    About workin' all summer
    Just-a trying to earn a dollar

    Every time I call my baby
    Try to get a date
    My boss says "No dice, son
    You gotta work late"

    Sometimes I wonder
    What I'm-a gonna do
    But there ain't no cure
    For the summertime blues

    Well my mama and papa told me
    "Son, you gotta make some money
    If you wanna use the car
    To go a-ridin' next Sunday"

    Well, I didn't go to work
    Told the boss I was sick
    "You can't use the car
    'Cause you didn't work a lick"

    Sometimes I wonder
    What I'm-a gonna do
    But there ain't no cure
    For the summertime blues

    I'm gonna take two weeks
    Gonna have a fine vacation
    I'm gonna take my problem
    To the United Nations

    Well, I called my congressman
    And he said, quote:
    "I'd like to help you, son
    But you're too young to vote"

    Sometimes I wonder
    What I'm-a gonna do
    But there ain't no cure
    For the summertime blues
