A
+ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
E|---|---5-X-----5-X---|
B|---|---5-X-----5-X---| Bass note is a pick-up requiring
G|---|-6---X---6---X---| an early shift to each chord
D|---|-----------------| X = muted slap
A|---|-----------------|
E|-5-|-----X-5-----X-7-|
However, that count produces a short bar of 7/8 leading into the CHORUS
and some off-beat vocal phrasing.
*** IMPORTANT UPDATE ***
Lisa's percussive slap is on the 'and' of Beat-2 and Beat-4.
The bass note is on the down beat.
