It means that every single "space" corresponds to the beating and strumming pattern. So, as an example, when singing the part: "D5 G5 " Rooted down with lessons that he carried ... Guitar is strumming the chord right before starting singin?, therefore space. And, therefore also, no space left when: "A5 D" Somewhere in the land of Sittin' Bull ... But every ear, brain and personality chooses the sounds differently. So be free to sing the song as you please. Better enjoy the singin?than get crazy tryin? mathemathics on a guitar.
