Cardigan by Taylor Swift Piano / Keyboard Easy Letter Notes for Beginners
Learn how to play Cardigan by Taylor Swift 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. Vintage tee, brand new phone
    High heels on cobblestones
    When you are young, they assume you know nothing
    Sequin smile, black lipstick
    Sensual politics
    When you are young, they assume you know nothing

    But I knew you
    Dancing in your Levi's
    Drunk under a streetlight, I
    I knew you
    Hand under my sweatshirt
    Baby, kiss it better, I

    And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
    You put me on and said I was your favorite
    A friend to all is a friend to none
    Chase two girls, lose the one
    When you are young, they assume you know nothing

    But I knew you
    Playing hide-and-seek and
    Giving me your weekends
    I, I knew you
    Your heartbeat on the High Line
    Once in twenty lifetimes, I

    And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
    You put me on and said I was your favorite

    To kiss in cars and downtown bars
    Was all we needed
    You drew stars around my scars
    But now I'm bleeding

    'Cause I knew you
    Stepping on the last train
    Marked me like a bloodstain, I
    I knew you
    Tried to change the ending
    Peter losing Wendy
    I, I knew you
    Leaving like a father
    Running like water, I
    And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

    But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
    I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
    The smell of smoke would hang around this long
    'Cause I knew everything when I was young
    I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
    Chasing shadows in the grocery line
    I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
    And you'd be standing in my front porch light
    And I knew you'd come back to me
    You'd come back to me
    And you'd come back to me
    And you'd come back

    And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
    You put me on and said I was your favorite
