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 wish I was in the land of cotton
    Old times there are not forgotten
    Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
    In Dixie Land, where I was born in
    Early on one frosty mornin'
    Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
    I wish I was in Dixie, hooray, hooray
    In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand
    To live and die in Dixie
    Away, away, away down south in Dixie
    Away, away, away down south in Dixie
    His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
    But that did not seem to grieve her
    Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
    Ole Missus acted the foolish part
    She died for a man that broke her heart
    Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
    I wish I was in Dixie, hooray, hooray
    In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand
    To live and die in Dixie
    Away, away, away down south in Dixie
    Away, away, away down south in Dixie
    Now here's to the health of the next Ole Missus
    And all the gals that want to kiss us
    Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land
    And if you want to drive away sorrow
    Come and hear our song tomorrow
    Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
    I wish I was in Dixie, hooray, hooray
    In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand
    To live and die in Dixie
    Away, away, away down south in Dixie
    Away, away, away down south in Dixie
