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.

    This a number-one champion sound.
    Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down, get down.
    Who the hottest in the world right now.
    Just touched down in London town.

    Bet they give me a pound.
    Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
    Yes.
    Tell the promoter we need more seats.
    We just sold out all the floor seats.

    [Estelle:]
    Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
    Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
    I really want to come kick it with you.
    You'll be my American boy.

    He said, "Hey, sister.
    It's really, really nice to meet you."
    I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type.
    Like the way he's speaking,
    His confidence is peaking.
    Don't like his baggy jeans
    But I'm 'a like what's underneath them.

    And, no, I ain't been to MIA.
    I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake.
    First let's see the West End.
    I'll show you to my brethren.
    I'm liking this American boy, American boy.

    [Kanye West:]
    Who killing 'em in the UK.
    Everybody gonna say, "You, K."
    Reluctantly 'cause most of this press don't fuck with me.

    Estelle once said to me, "Cool down, down,
    Don't act a fool now, now."
    I always act a fool. Oww, oww.
    Ain't nothing new now now.

    He crazy. I know what you thinking.
    Ribena I know what you're drinking.
    Rap singer. Chain blinger.
    Holler at the next chick soon as you're blinking.

    What's your persona
    About this Americana rhymer?
    Am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer.

    Dressed smart like a London bloke.
    Yes.
    Before he speak his suit bespoke.
    And you thought he was cute before.
    Look at this peacoat, tell me he's broke.

    And I know you ain't into all that.
    I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
    But I still talk that cash
    'Cause a lot of wags wanna hear it.

    And I'm feeling like Mike at his baddest.
    Like The Pips at they Gladys.
    And I know they love it.
    So to hell with all that rubbish.

    [Estelle:]
    Would you be my love, my love?
    Could you be mine?
    Would you be my love, my love?
    Could you be mine?
    Could you be my love, my love?
    Would you be my American boy, American boy?

    Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
