F* xx321x
Fmaj7 xx3210 *
F6 xx323x *
Cmaj7/E 02201x
Fmaj7/A x02211 *
Asus2/B x2220x
Am/C x3221x
* Can play single notes E and D to give Fmaj7 and F6, after playing F*.
Similarly, play high F note to give Fmaj7/A, then play E to go back to Am.
(Cmaj7/E and Em 02200x are kind of interchangeable as melody notes B and C
are played, but the vocal is on C where I've put Cmaj7/E and on B for Em.)
Verse 1 is similar to the chorus, but has a different melody over the F chords
to begin with. To summarise:
Melody over Am is F, E, A
Melody over F is E, D, A except for the first half of Verse 1 where it's also F, E, A
