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.

  2. Still got the flowers that you sent
    And the note you wrote that said that we were meant to be forever
    I keep them all as evidence
    In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
    I don't know why
    I keep letting you lie to me
    Hard as I try
    It seems I can't break away
    I thought that you would be the hero
    Come and save the day
    But you're a villain
    Your sins unforgiven

    I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
    In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
    Under the waves I've found the strength to say
    The river of tears has washed me clean
    Go 'head and wish me well
    I'll cry a wishing well
    I'll fly before I fail
    I'll set sail and drift away
    So I won't need you here
    Love sinks and hope floats
    In a river of tears
    In a river of tears

    I catch your scent in every wind
    And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
    That I don't miss you every now and then
    But the hurt is for the better
    Moving on, it's now or never
    Lost in the tide
    I can't keep my pillows dry
    Like there's a sea in my eyes
    I realize that sometimes love brings you flowers
    Then it builds you coffins
    And far too often
    We end up falling to our demise

    I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
    In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
    Under the waves I've found the strength to say
    The river of tears has washed me clean
    Go 'head and wish me well
    I'll cry a wishing well
    I'll fly before I fail
    I'll set sail and drift away
    So I won't need you here
    Love sinks and hope floats
    In a river of tears
    In a river of tears

    Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
    I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
    I'm glad to see everything that you are
    And I believe that you are everything I needed
    But I don't need no more

    I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
    In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
    Under the waves I've found the strength to say
    The river of tears has washed me clean
    Go 'head and wish me well
    I'll cry a wishing well
    I'll fly before I fail
    I'll set sail and drift away
    So I won't need you here
    Love sinks and hope floats
    In a river of tears
    In a river of tears
