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. By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
    To fall in love truly, was all I could think
    That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
    The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

    She said, "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
    I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
    I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
    I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."

    Now, son, I'm only telling you this
    Because life can do terrible things.

    Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink
    And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
    Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
    Love was a story that couldn't compare.

    I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
    I made you a present with paper and string.
    Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
    You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

    Now, son, I'm only telling you this
    Because life can do terrible things
    You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray,
    That God shows you differently.

    She said, "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing?
    It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
    Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,
    You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

    Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.

    So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
    If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose
    To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
    I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

    Now, son, I'm only telling you this
    Because life can do terrible things
