Start when vocals begin (fourth beat of second bar). Tempo is slow, 9 seconds per bar. Vocals begin on 4th beat of second bar, which is 16 sec. in. When counting 16th notes, vocals begin on count 13 of second bar.

Sequence: AAB ACA BBA C*AC BBB
A = verses of song; B = chorus; C = instrumental interlude which occurs three times. The restart for the last A is needed because the second C interlude, marked C*, runs on nearly twice as long and stops abruptly mid bar. For details, see note below.
