None of them
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.
