I need piano help :/

I'm having this really hard time with the song Those Who Fight from Final Fantasy 7 (It's the battle theme). I have down loaded the sheet music BUT my piano is far away from my computer, and I don't have a printer.
This is only made harder by the fact that I can't read sheet music. Now, before you go and yell "RETARD", I play bye ear, BUT THIS SONG IS COMPLICATED, and my skills only go so far ;-;
Here is the sheet music (it's under Fighting part 1) and pm me if you can help

BTW:
if you could like, make a tutorial video, that would be great, 'cause that's how I learned, believe it or not.
any other way is acceptable, though

So, you play by ear, huh? I started that way on the piano. After I began violin, though, I sort of had to know how to read music. Here's a quick lesson that may help...

Do you know where the middle c is? If so, then you can just count up in ABC-order from A to G on the white keys. So from middle C, it goes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Does that help a bit? I don't know how much you know about that, so I figured I just cover it really quick.

Next, each line on the staf represents a note.
------------------------- = F
------------------------- = D
------------------------- = B
------------------------- = G
------------------------- = E

Each space represents a note also.
--------------------------
-------------------------- = E
--------------------------
-------------------------- = C
--------------------------
-------------------------- = A
--------------------------
-------------------------- = F
--------------------------

So, going from top to bottom, the spaces spell FACE. Most teachers create acronyms for the lines, such as "Every Good Boy Does Fine," or "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge." Or you can make up whatever you want.

I hope that helps if only the slightest. I also suggest going on YouTube at the very least to find a quick learn-to-play-piano video or get a professional teacher.

That looks fairly difficult. It might take me a few weeks to learn but I'll try to get it down so I can make a tutorial on youtube smile
