Is there a way to export Contact level call notes?

There doesn’t seem to be any built-in way to export call Notes - disappointing, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Apparently you have to go into the database/phpmyadmin and the Notes are stored in a database table lead_notes by contact ID.

I guess I have to write a SQL query, something like ‘get Notes where ID is mylist of IDs’. Has anyone done this? What is the quickest, easiest way?
