How The World Works by Bo Burnham Piano / Keyboard Easy Letter Notes for Beginners
Learn how to play How The World Works by Bo Burnham 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. Hey, kids
    Today, we're gonna learn about the world

    The world that's around us
    Is pretty amazing
    But how does it work?
    It must be complicated
    The secret is the world can only work
    When everything works together

    A bee drinks from a flower
    And leaves with its pollen
    A squirrel in a tree
    Spreads the seeds that have fallen
    Everything works together
    The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
    The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
    And every single cricket, every fish in the sea
    Gives what they can and gets what they need

    That is how the world works
    That is how the world works
    From A to Zebra
    To the worms in the dirt
    That's how it works

    Hey everyone
    Look who stopped by to say hello
    It's Socko
    Hey!
    Where you been, Socko?
    I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand
    In a frightening, liminal space between states of being
    Not quite dead, not quite alive
    It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
    Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
    Boy, that sounds complicated!
    Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
    I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
    I don't know about that, Socko
    How about you give it a try?
    Alright!

    The simple narrative taught in every history class
    Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
    Don't you know the world is built with blood?
    And genocide and exploitation
    The global network of capital essentially functions
    To separate the worker from the means of production
    And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
    Private property's inherently theft
    And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
    And every politician, every cop on the street
    Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

    That is how the world works
    Really?
    That is how the world works (that is how the world works)
    Genocide, the Natives say you got to it first
    That's how (that's how) it works

    That's pretty intense
    No shit
    What can I do to help?
    Read a book or something, I don't know
    Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you
    It's incredibly exhausting
    I'm sorry, Socko
    I was just trying to become a better person
    Why do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
    This isn't about you
    So either get with it, or get out of the fucking way
    Watch your mouth, buddy
    Remember who's on whose hand here
    But that's what I
    Have you not been fucking listening?
    We are entrenched in
    Alright, alright
    Wait, no please!
    I don't wanna go back, please
    I can't go, I can't go back
    Please, please, I'm sorry
    Are you gonna behave yourself?
    Yes
    Yes, what?
    Yes, sir
    Look at me
    Yes, sir
    That's better

    That is how the world works
    That is how the world works
    I hope you learned your lesson
    I did and it hurt
    That's how it works

    No!
