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. Mary, did you know
    That your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
    Mary, did you know
    That your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
    Did you know
    That your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
    This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you

    Mary, did you know
    That your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
    Mary, did you know
    That your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
    Did you know
    That your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
    When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

    Oh Mary did you know... Ooh Ooh Ooh

    The blind will see
    The deaf will hear
    The dead will live again
    The lame will leap
    The dumb will speak
    The praises of The Lamb

    Mary, did you know
    That your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
    Mary, did you know
    That your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
    Did you know
    That your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
    The sleeping Child you're holding is the great "I am"
