I have a question regarding the "correct" way to play the fill for cannonball. I've checked out the tabs on this site and it doesn't sound quite right. How do you guys play the fill? More specifically, the portion that follows this part:

e:-------------------------
B:-------------------------
G:----0-0-0-0-0-0--0------
D:----5-5-5-5-4-2--0h2p0-
A:----2-2-2-2-2-3--3-----
E:--------------------------

Here's how I've been playing it (which doesn't sound quite right either):

e:-----------------------5---|
B:-----------------------5---|
G:-----------------------0---|
D:------------2s4--0h4--4---|
A:--0h2--2h3------------5---|
E:---------------------------|

Any suggestions?

The first tab is truly right, and as 'HtheLionhearted' said, you need A capo on the 6th fret.
And you can watch this videos who teach how to play that song

From what I know, the album recording is actually done with three guitars. But Damien has a different version that he plays live.

Yeah, that's what I meant. What's the correct way to play the fill when Damien performs it live?

Oh, ok. I usually strum thru the whole song. I will try to record something and write you a tab. Hopefully by the end of this weekend. Its just to late right now.
