Be an Astronaut by Declan McKenna Piano / Keyboard Easy Letter Notes for Beginners
Learn how to play Be an Astronaut by Declan McKenna with easy piano letter notes sheet music for beginners, suitable to play on Piano, Keyboard, Flute, Guitar, Cello, Violin, Clarinet, Trumpet, Saxophone, Viola and any other similar instruments you need easy letters notes chords for.

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 1]
    Daniel, do you remember?
    You were in such a state
    The boys that wait outside your house
    Have got your number
    And are not afraid to use it
    They'll probably give it out
    To anyone they see, including me
    They'll probably make up your mind
    As if you want them to

    [Chorus]
    Oh, you (Oh, you)
    Those boys tell you what to do
    All the time
    On and later on
    You said I could be just what I want
    And they said you're lying
    Well, you were born to be an astronaut
    And you'll do that or die trying
    What a way to live and die

    [Post-Chorus]
    And you wonder why boys will cry
    Boys will be boys, they should listen
    Do as their mothers tell them

    [Verse 2]
    "If you know what's good for you
    Behave yourself this time, for me"
    "If you know what's good for you
    Don't lay around complaining all day"
    Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
    And they're not crying

    [Chorus]
    On and later on
    You will tell them what went wrong
    And they'll say you're lying
    But you were born to be an astronaut
    And you'll do that or die trying
    There'd be nothing wrong with it
    Ah

    [Interlude]

    [Bridge]
    Oh, you waste your time
    C-C-Come waste mine

    [Chorus]
    Oh my
    The boys that wait are on the line
    And they're not crying
    On and later on
    You will tell them what went wrong
    And they'll say you're lying
    But you were born an astronaut
    To do it or die trying
    There'd be nothing wrong with it
    Ah
