Yeah the lead sheet usually what you see in a church hymnal, the transcribed melody with some chords thrown on top, which I wrote hack leadsheets all the time back in my band days, and all they really do is let the other musicians know what planet your on.

Sheet music gets more involved, usually whoever makes the sheet music arranges the music themselves for whatever instrument. Usually for piano. Guitar is pretty much chords and feel.

But even full sheet music leaves so much out of what you actually hear on the record.

Usually you are playing somebody else's arrangement of a popular aomg, some are very accurate, others not so much.
