The Beatles - Because
---------------------
This whole song is in 4/4, and there is only one chord every 4 beats, so each chord
is played for 4 beats. The only exception to this is that the Ddim7 in the bridge is
played for one beat and the last three beats have no chord.
The "___" parts are where the word the singer sings is held out through chord changes.
