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 you find it too hard just play the "RH" lines only, it should be simple enough and sound good too.

  2. It was 6:48, I was walking home
    Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
    I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
    Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
    I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    When my mom walked into the living room
    She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
    I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
    She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
    I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble

    And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
    Mind was running, air was freezing
    Put my hands up, put my hands up
    I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

    Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
    Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

    Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
    He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
    I had thick red blood running down my clothes
    And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
    I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble

    And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
    Mind was running, nose was bleeding
    Put my hands up, put my hands up
    I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

    Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
    Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer

    It was 6:48, he was walking home
    With the blood on his hands from my broken nose
    But like every other day, he was scared to go
    Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
    Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
    Just looking for trouble
    Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
    But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
    Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
    And I hope one day that he'll say to him
    Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
    In this broken bubble

    Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
    Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
