Version 1 Version 2Leaps and Bounds – Paul Kelly Capo 4th fret (original key B). The original song has a jangly ringing guitar. After you've got the hang of the basic structure, try replacing the G and the C with a Gsus2 and a Cadd9 in the verse sections to get that ringing effect (holding a D-note on the 2nd string, and a G-note on the 1st string). [Intro] Pick out the intro G / C / G / C [Verse] G C I'm high on the hill, looking over the bridge G C To the M.C.G. G C And way up on high, the clock on the silo G C Says eleven degrees [Chorus] G C I remember G C I remember [Verse] G C I'm breathing today, the month of May G C All the burning leaves G C I’m not hearing a sound, my feet don't even G C Touch the ground [Chorus] G C I remember G C I remember G C C I go leaps and bounds G C I go leaps and bounds [Bridge] Em D Down past the river C G And across the playing fields Em D The fields all empty C Only for the burning leaves [Chorus] G C I remember G C I remember G C I go leaps and bounds G C I go leaps and bounds [Lead Break] Em / D / C / G / Em / D / C / / / G C I'm high on the hill, looking over the bridge G C To the M.C.G. G C I'm stumbling around, my feet don’t even G C Touch the ground G C I remember G C I remember G C I remember G C I remember G C I go leaps and bounds G C I go leaps and bounds G C I go leaps and bounds G C I go leaps and bounds G C I remember G C I remember G C I remember G C I remember [Outro] G C G C I remember G C I remember G C I remember everything G
