(The second fill is pretty hard to hear because of the mix so I
don't know if it's 100% correct but it works.
The fills are not the same the whole way through as Marr plays
some variations.)

(Listen to the song for the timing and try to keep the same
bouncy feel Marr has. I use only downstrokes apart from
the single notes which sounds pretty close.)
