The Lead-in
Sometimes a song does not begin on the first beat of a bar. Any notes which come before the first full bar are called lead-in notes (or pickup notes). When we use lead-in notes, the last bar is also incomplete. The notes in the lead-in and the notes (or rests) in the last bar must add up to one full bar.
There are three lead-in notes at the beginning of this song.
