Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio Piano / Keyboard Easy Letter Notes for Beginners
Learn how to play Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio with easy piano letter notes sheet music for beginners, suitable to play on Piano, Keyboard, Flute, Guitar, Cello, Violin, Clarinet, Trumpet, Saxophone, Viola and any other similar instruments you need easy letters notes chords for.

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. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
    I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
    'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long,
    That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
    But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
    Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
    You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
    Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
    I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
    As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
    I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
    On my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlight

    Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

    Look at the situation they got me facin'
    I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
    So I gotta be down with the hood team
    Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
    I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
    Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
    I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
    And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
    Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
    I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
    I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
    The way things are going I don't know

    Tell me why are we so blind to see
    That the ones we hurt are you and me

    Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

    Power and the money, money and the power
    Minute after minute, hour after hour
    Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
    What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
    They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
    If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
    I guess they can't, I guess they won't
    I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

    Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
    Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

    Tell me why are we so blind to see
    That the ones we hurt are you and me
    Tell me why are we so blind to see
    That the ones we hurt are you and me
    [Fade out]
