Radiohead - Amnesiac (Album) (2001) - "Pyramid Song"

The rhythm of the repeating 16 beat section is divided up into one measure of 5/4, one measure of 8/4, 
and one measure of 3/4.  Over the top of the [| 5/4 | 8/4 | 3/4 |] pattern, play each chord for the 
length of a dotted quarter note unless there are only 2 beats remaining in the measure, in which case 
play the chord for the length of a half note.  This means that there are three chords in the 5/4 
measure, five chords in the 8/4 measure, and two chords in the 3/4 measure.  Some of the chords in the 
second verse are only written out to show the fills between vocal lines.  Cheers, rockinattica
