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. I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye
    I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
    She said, "I never seen a man, who looks so all alone
    Oh, could you use a little company?
    If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice
    And you can go and send me on my way."
    I said, "You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?"
    She looked at me and this is what she said:

    "Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
    Money don't grow on trees
    I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
    There ain't nothing in this world for free
    Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
    Though you know, I wish I could
    Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
    Until we close our eyes for good"

    Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walking down the street
    When I saw the shadow of a man creep out out of sight
    And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head
    He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
    He said, "Give me all you've got, I want your money, not your life
    But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice."
    I told him, "You can have my cash, but first you know I gotta ask
    What made you want to live this kind of life?"

    He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked
    Money don't grow on trees
    I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
    There ain't nothing in this world for free
    Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
    Though you know, I wish I could
    Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
    Until we close our eyes for good"

    Well now a couple hours passed and I was sitting in my house
    The day was winding down and coming to an end
    And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
    And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
    I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church
    He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
    But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same
    Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

    You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
    Money don't grow on trees
    We got bills to pay, we got mouths to feed
    There ain't nothing in this world for free
    Oh no we can't slow down, we can't hold back
    Though you know we wish we could
    Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
    Until we close our eyes for good
