Ab|-6--^--7--8--*--9--(--0--q--Q--w--W--e----
Eb|-3--4--$--5--%--6--^--7--8--*--9--(--0----

For example:

|-------0-----|-------0-----|-------0-----|-------0---7-|
|-----0---0---|-----0---0---|-----0---0---|-----0---0---|
|---0-------0-|---0-------0-|---0-------0-|---0---------|

    Assuming you know the chords, just imagine placing your fingers on the table above and you will get the piano keys.

    For example, the A chord is "re073".
