Request Mick Jagger - Sweet Thing

Hi - I'm new to the forum, and quite a beginner as a bass player.
I know enough to start enjoying and playing some simple stuff, and I may get some scales by ear but I'm tone deaf otherwise :) So it's still really really hard to extract notes and rhythms from what I may hear especially in this song.
I try to get a tab by myself regularly for months but no luck for now! Each time, it seems to me it's not that difficult but each time I fail miserably!

I may suspect it's a 5-string bass and a drop-C tuning. I don't even understand the first note. It seems some kind of slide. So deep...
I got this tab but it's clearly wrong. Please help if you wish to :)

Thanks Stevie !
So great to see some light after several months in the dark!
Now I realized 2 novice mistakes: I didn't bind the measures to the drums, and I can't recognize the drum kit enough.
But, starting on the last "and" of the measure was quite hard for me to handle.
I guess it may come from some genre background. Gonna ask my teacher to explain!

Here is a guitar pro file MickJagger-SweetThing-5-string.gp5 - Hostr, download and share anything. of the first 4 measures. I made it slightly different than your but it seems accurate to me. Hope I'm allowed to post such files.
See you,
