I did a search, and yes, there are piano tabs.

But why not learn to read music? I mean... come on now!

Could be interesting. Sometimes the printed music is a piano version of the recording. If the tabs were the actual parts that might be helpful. Of course I think reading the music might be quicker.

I love the bit "Tabs for the sheet music fans:". I mean, WHY would someone who can read sheetmusic bother with piano tab?!

Yeah, that's what got me confused. It's one thing with stringed instruments, since it can be helpful to know what position the part was intended to be played at, but there's only one way to play any given note on a piano. Seems like it would be just as easy to read standard notation.
