I thought the song didn't have drums, but Ringo is playing them in the dreamscape.
Any ideas/thoughts why?

You got it wrong. I'm not surprised that there is a drum chart, I don't get why Ringo is playing drums in this picture if there are no drums in the song at all. Take a look at this (from Wikipedia):
John Lennon – double-tracked vocal, acoustic rhythm guitar
Paul McCartney – harmony vocal, bass
George Harrison – double-tracked sitar
Ringo Starr – tambourine, maracas, finger cymbals
"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes"
If you listen carefully, you can hear what sounds like a bass drum in the right channel during the final verse.
I imagine the finger cymbals from the final verse will be also charted.
In Maxwell Silver Hammer, you see John playing with them when during the real recording he was recovering from a car accident he had been in. In fact, at one point in the song Paul chuckles because at that moment, John had pulled down his pants and mooned him!!!
