She Sells Sanctuary - where's the 'one'?

Jonathangus

As in, where's the first beat of the bar in the intro and the interlude in the middle of the song?  Is it the open D, or the A on the 14th fret of the G string?

This?  Or this?

viz

First A is the first beat of the 4/4 bar. The D is a pre bar quaver. Like in the 2nd time round.

Confusingly, your examples are reversed.

First beat is the A. The second example is wrong.

R.

That was quick!  Thanks @viz .  EDIT: and @robinbowes .  And yes, I posted those the wrong way round, didn't I? 

That makes sense, as it's where the accent appears to fall.  But there's so much delay and other stuff going on...
