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. You are somebody that I don't know
    But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón
    And I'm just like, "Damn!
    It's 7 AM"

    Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
    But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out
    And I'm just like, "Hey!
    Are you OK?"

    And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
    But I've learned the lesson
    That stressing and obsessing
    'Bout somebody else is no fun
    And snakes and stones never broke my bones

    So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
    You need to calm down
    You're being too loud
    And I'm just like
    "Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
    You need to just stop
    Like, can you just not step on my gown?
    You need to calm down"

    You are somebody that we don't know
    But you're coming at my friends like a missile
    Why are you mad
    When you could be GLAAD?
    (You could be GLAAD)

    Sunshine on the street at the parade
    But you would rather be in the dark ages
    Just making that sign
    Must've taken all night

    You just need to take several seats
    And then try to restore the peace
    And control your urges to scream
    About all the people you hate
    'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

    So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
    You need to calm down
    You're being too loud
    And I'm just like
    "Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
    You need to just stop
    Like, can you just not step on his gown
    You need to calm down"

    And we see you over there on the Internet
    Comparing all the girls who are killing it
    But we figured you out
    We all know now
    We all got crowns
    You need to calm down

    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
    You need to calm down
    (You need to calm down)
    You're being too loud
    (You're being too loud)
    And I'm just like
    "Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
    You need to just stop
    (Can you stop?)
    Like, can you just not step on our gowns
    You need to calm down"
