NOTES:
Paul Kelly's hymn to Melbourne, the city he lived in and loved.

A great song that is two chords for most of the way! The song is recorded 
(on Gossip) a tone higher than I have it, so if you want to play along, 
slap a capo on 2.

I'm high on a hill looking over the bridge at the M.C.G.

  | A                 | D                     | A             | D
And way up on high, the clock on the silo says eleven degrees.

I remember.    I remember.

I'm breathing today, the month of May, all the burning leaves.

      | A                 | D             | A                | D
I'm not hearing a sound, my feet don't even touch the ground.

  | A      | D   | A      | D
I remember.    I remember.

I go leaps and bounds.    I go leaps and bounds.

    Down past the river the river and across the playing fields.

| F#m            | E        | A             | D
    The fields are empty only for the burning leaves.

  | A      | D   | A      | D
I remember.    I remember.
