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. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony that's life
    Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
    I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
    You know the one that takes you to the places
    Where all the veins meet, yeah

    No change, I can change
    I can change, I can change
    But I'm here in my mould
    I am here in my mould
    But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
    I can't change my mould
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no
    (Have you ever been down?)

    Well I've never prayed, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
    I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
    I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
    But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

    No change, I can change
    I can change, I can change
    But I'm here in my mould
    I am here in my mould
    And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
    I can't change my mould
    No, no, no, no, no
    Have you ever been down?
    I can't change it you know, I can't change it

    'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
    Trying to make ends meet
    Trying to find somebody, then you die
    I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
    You know the one that takes you to the places
    Where all the veins meet, yeah

    You know I can change, I can change
    I can change, I can change
    But I'm here in my mould
    I am here in my mould
    And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
    I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
    I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
    I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no

    (You've gotta, sex and violence, melody and silence)
