Q. It's for my niece, I know how to play the actual notes to the words but not the background music.
A. Try this. I'm using the video at

The chord progression I'm giving you is a little simpler than the one in the video.
Let me know if you have questions.
Here are the notes to the chords:
C = C E G
C/E = C E G with E in the left hand
Dm7 = D F A C
D7 = D F# A C
Dm/B = D F A (that's Dm) with B in the bass
Ebdim7 = Eb Gb A C
E7 = E G# B D
G7 = G B D F
A7 = A C# E G
Am = A C E
[C] This is the song
La La La La
[G7] Elmo's Song
La La La La
La La La La
[C] Elmo's Song
(I like it)
[C/E] La La La
[Ebdim7] La La La
[Dm7] La [G7]
(To think, he wrote this alone)
[Em7] La La La
[A7] La La La
[Dm7] La [G7]
(Catchy)
[C] He loves to sing
La La La La
[G7] Elmo's Song
(Oh, sing it)
La La La La
La La La La
[C] Elmo's Song
[Dm7] He wrote the [Ebdim7] music
[Dm/B] He [E7] wrote the [Am] words [D7]
[Dm7] That's [G7] Elmo's
[C] Song! [If you want to repeat, play Ebdim7 Dm7 G7, then go back to the beginning]
Transition from guitar cords to piano cords?
Q. I need to know how to play a guitar G, C2, and Em7 on the piano. I have a guitar chord sheet and I need to learn those cords on piano
A. The chords are made of the same notes. You can voice them however you want.
What are the letter notations on the top of a stanza of sheet music?
Q. The music is written for piano, but above the treble cleff there are references to notes. All the usuals A-G sometimes with flats and then some like Am, Em, Em7, D7 etc. How do I interpret these?
Thanks very much!
A. Am = A minor, and etc with all the other notes. When you add a 7, then you add the 7th note of the scale, i.e in A, the chord would be A-C-E-G. Flats are 1/2 half note down and sharps are 1/2 note up. If there's anything else, please contact me - I would be happy to help!
