Thanks everyone for your help, I suppose I could tell a bit of this "test" of mine....

One word-it was horribleLike a scene from a nightmare. Platform stage with with bright lights and the "judges" sitting in front of me, rest of the hall was dark. And the piano I was supposed to play was so "stiff", the keys were hard to press, nothing like I was used to, and then some musicians tried to back me up, but they soon gave up. Because I sucked. I tried to play Eleanor Rigby but ...

No your not troubling me at all! And I added some more music which isn't Beatles. Also, the book im getting most of these out of has a TON of easy pop songs, so I put up a picture of the list of all the songs it has. Tell me if you want any. Some of them might be too hard/easy for what you need them for, but Ill post them anyway if you want.

Thank you very much, Mc.Carrison! I can see the notes just fine, and it seems they are aimed at people who are even worse than I am- which is only a good thing! I think they won't allow me to play Beatles only, unfortunately( I really participated this thing without knowing what I was supposed to do) so I tried putting down the notes for "Oh my Love" (it ain't Beatles ) but I'm having a bit trouble with the chords ( because I don't know the chords) although the melody ...

Oooo! I have some old paino books from the 70s (my dads) that have SUPER simple Beatles arangments of Eleanor Rigby, yesterday, Michelle, and a few others that I can't think of right now, but if you want I could scan them in and post them here.

Wow, thanks! I never quite realized that Eleanor Rigby is so simple; I suppose the orchestral arrangement makes it sounds complicated( and awesome)

The thing is... I have to learn three songs in one month, with very little experience of actually playing the piano ( ok, I can read the notes) I know this is ridiculous but I don't think I can get off the hook So, any suggestions...? They can be Beatles but they can be anything ( as long as they are easy...)

I hope I posted this in the right place...
