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. [Michael Jackson:]
    It's close to midnight and something evil's lurkin' in the dark
    Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
    You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
    You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
    You're paralyzed

    'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
    And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
    You know it's thriller, thriller night
    You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

    You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
    You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
    You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
    But all the while you hear a creature creepin' up behind
    You're outta time

    'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
    There ain't no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes, girl
    Thriller, thriller night
    You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

    Night creatures call
    And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
    There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
    This is the end of your life

    They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
    They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
    Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
    All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
    I'll make you see

    That this is thriller, thriller night
    'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
    Thriller, thriller night
    So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, chiller
    Thriller here tonight

    'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
    Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
    Thriller, thriller night
    So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller

    I'm gonna thrill you tonight

    [Vincent Price:]
    Darkness falls across the land
    The midnight hour is close at hand
    Creatures crawl in search of blood
    To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
    And whomsoever shall be found
    Without the soul for getting down
    Must stand and face the hounds of hell
    And rot inside a corpse's shell

    [Michael Jackson:]
    I'm gonna thrill you tonight...

    [Vincent Price:]
    The foulest stench is in the air
    The funk of forty thousand years
    And grisly ghouls from every tomb
    Are closing in to seal your doom
    And though you fight to stay alive
    Your body starts to shiver
    For no mere mortal can resist
    The evil of the thriller

    [Into maniacal laugh, in deep echo]
