Even if you find a site that gives you the letters, it would be incredibly messy to read. How are you going to know which C you're supposed to play, for example?

    I would urge you very strongly to learn to read music. It's actually not very difficult and, once you have mastered it, a whole new world will open up for you. Go on - you know you can do it!

    Learn to read music, it's a lot simpler once you know how.

    Oh, please!! Put on your Big Girl panties and LEARN HOW TO READ MUSIC! Go to any of a zillion sites - like www.practicespot.com - and do a little work - maybe print a couple of worksheets and do them the old pencil-and-paper way (sounds like school? Well, SCHOOL WORKS!!).

    You see, in the world, there are very few people that are willing to deal with people who can't read notes. While it is understandable learning notes is hard (I myself was raised in the bass clef, I'm still learning to deal with Treble), learning the notes would make it so much easier for you now and in the future. Use a simple trick to learn them. Going up the staff, the spaces (in between lines) are F A C E (or a FACE). Going up on the lines, the notes are E G B D F (or Every Good Boy Does Fine). When you get a piece of music, write in the names of the notes above the actual notes. When you feel comfortable, start removing a note name here or there and just use common sense to know where to put your fingers. Begin removing more and more, and pretty soon you can read notes! Repeat for any songs you may need help with.
