A Country Boy Can Survive

NOTE: The original tab I had posted here was done in a rush about 10 years ago. I just re-visited the song and made some corrections and additions. I have added my interpretation of the first 2 fills. I believe all of the fills are played over the D chord. There are about 15 fills in this song and I think there are 3 guitars, a fiddle and a harmonica. At least one of the guitars is in drop D tuning.
