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]
    Drink up, baby
    Stay up all night
    Oh, the things you could do
    You won't, but you might
    The potential you'll be
    But you'll never see
    The promises you'll only make
    Drink up with me now
    And forget all about
    The pressure of days
    And do what I say
    And I'll make you okay
    And drive them away
    The images stuck in your head

    [Chrous]
    The people you've been before
    That you don't want around anymore
    Or they push and shove and won't bend to your will
    I'll keep them still

    [Verse 2]
    Drink up, baby
    Look at the stars
    I'll kiss you again
    Between the bars
    Where I'm seeing you there
    With your hands in the air
    You're waiting to finally be caught
    Drink up one more time
    And I'll make you mine
    I'll keep you apart
    Deep in my heart
    Separate from the rest
    Where I like you the best
    And keep the things you forgot

    [Chorus]
    The people you've been before
    That you don't want around anymore
    Or they push and shove and won't bend to your will
    I'll keep them still

    [Instrumental]

    [Chorus]
    The people you've been before
    That you don't want around anymore
    Or they push and shove and won't bend to your will
    I'll keep them still

    [Outro]
    Oh-oh
