A Country Boy Can Survive Ukulele tab

	  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.
