AI reference · supporting evidence Strummed · 3/4 · about 50 BPM

Compact three-verse accompaniment in a lilting 3/4 feel. Each lyric line receives one bar, with the recurring Am–G–Am and C–G–C figures distributed across consecutive bars; the closing question uses Am, F, and E across three bars.

Timing check: At an inferred 80 BPM in 3/4, each bar is 2.25 seconds; 67 bars yield approximately 150.75 seconds, matching the 150.6-second recording. Adjacent full-bar chord events were paired because the literal interpretation exceeded the verified recording duration.

Expected about 67 bars; arranged 56.0 bars (about 126 seconds, recording 151 seconds).
