A lead sheet contains a melodic line in musical notation of a piece of music you are learning. This can be helpful in knowing the rhythm that you should be playing a song, or how long you should be holding a chord for. It is similar to having tabs for guitar or bass, but for voice, and, if using for playing rhythm with a guitar, you can read the chord above the melody, and reading how many measures until the next chord, you know how long to play the chord for. This is most helpful when you have not heard a song a lot before learning it. Plain chord sheets do not show how long to play a chord, but simply has the chords written above words.
