The song by MichaelMcdonald, does anyone play it as part of there set? I am listening to it now, trying to learn it, But I am having trouble with the timing. I count 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2 etc... but the second one is played with no accent. The accent is very strong on every other one. Is this some variation of 4/4?

I don't have it handy to listen to, but I was tapping and singing to myself (the only sort of singing I should ever be allowed to do) and I think the bridge where he sings "Don't say that" three times consists of two measures of 4/4 with a measure of 2/4 at the end. Otherwise, it's a straight 4/4 all the way through.

It's a great song.
