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 met her on a Monday evening
    She was standing outside of the Park and Ride
    And I said, "Hey Ma, where you been?
    Been looking for a woman like you for all my life"

    And she said, "Hola, talk to me
    Before I have to leave"
    And one day we could be
    Maybe more than two lost souls just passing by

    Knew I was falling when I looked inside your eyes
    She said, "I know you are but what am I?"

    Tell me have you seen a sunset
    Turn into a sunrise, kiss right through the night
    'Cause we should try that sometime
    Hold you till the morning, and if I said, "I'm falling"
    Would you just reply
    "I know you are but what am I?"

    What am I?
    What am I?

    Open the door to my apartment
    We get in
    Kissin' on my neck and throwin' my jacket to the side
    I know your heart is beating quick
    And if you put your head on my chest
    Hear the same in mine

    And we'll be making love
    Until the sun comes up
    But one day, maybe I
    I could put a ring on your finger
    Before you change your mind, yeah

    Knew I was falling when I looked inside your eyes
    She said, "I know you are but what am I?"

    Tell me have you seen a sunset
    Turn into a sunrise, kiss right through the night
    'Cause we should try that sometime
    Hold you till the morning, and if I said, "I'm falling"
    Would you just reply
    "I know you are but what am I?"

    What am I?
    What am I?
    What am I?

    Tell me have you seen a sunset
    Turn into a sunrise, kiss right through the night
    'Cause we should try that sometime
    Hold you till the morning, and if I said, "I'm falling"
    Would you just reply
    "I know you are but what am I?"

    Tell me have you seen a sunset
    Turn into a sunrise, kiss right through the night
    'Cause we should try that sometime
    Hold you till the morning, and if I said, "I'm falling"
    Would you just reply
    "I know you are but what am I?"
