If you play from the melody as a starting point you will find a few tunes where the pickup bar groups nicely with bar 1. It continues with bars 2 and 3 etc. Autumn Leaves and In A Mellow Tone come to mind. Most people will consider these tunes starting on the words Leaves and Tone respectively. If you play off the melody it gives a different slant on things as the phrases are shifted. I think learning the melody is step 1. Past this you should know and hear some harmony especially when things go outside the key.
