The original sounds in Bb - and the guitar is tuned one full tone lower
This tab is written for standard tuning
To play along with the original retune the guitar to  D - G - C - F - A - D

The first two beats of the first bar are slow, the second bar commences 2 secs in.
Maybelle Carter generally used a thumb pick and finger pick on the first finger. Thumb
