It means that every single "space" corresponds to the beating and strumming pattern. So, as an example, when singing the part: "D G+G " 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: "A 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
