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. [Verse]
    From East Grestin to Orvech Vonor
    Working is highest honor
    Our Labor Lottery improve economy
    Kolechians, they see
    All of them want to be
    Check all papers
    Finish after dark
    No citations
    Reward: Shiny plaque
    Must make money, many things I need
    30 days, no food, why I choose heat?
    Life is hard
    Please, God, help me
    Child is dead, wife is sick, mother-in-law healthy
    Desk very messy
    Situation dire
    Mix up passport with Pink Vice flyer
    Border always crazy, stories very funny
    Man with passport from Impor but issued Lesrenadi
    *chuckles* Was not born yesterday, Republia scum
    Citizen must do his duty
    Quelling population
    Protect border
    Uphold the Nation
    If citizen perform his duty with no complication
    Citizen retire with a Class 4 Dwelling Habitation
    Glory to Arstotzka
