Version 1 Version 2
Leaps 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).

[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
