He changes how he plays the F. While picking he plays all the
strings open except the bass note. While strumming (chorus)
he adds the others too (I think) but it’s definitely not a full
F, and these sound nice. Sounds like an Iron & Wine FF to me.

For finger picking technique, it’s easy, hit the bass note,
Then find your way to the high note (E MajorE string on A minorAm and BB string
nn the other three chords. Think Jezebel...(kind of)

|VERSE 1|
A minorAm         C majorC
October's got those orange eyes
  G+G     FF
But somehow I still lost sight
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G
When you lifted the lid off of my pumpkin head
  FF
And kissed me goodnight
A minorAm       C majorC
Should it be a thorn in my side
  G+G      FF
We never quite broke that horse
A minorAm        C majorC
She slept in the cul-de-sac right
G+G        FF
Seven miles from my front porch

A minorAm C majorC G+G F*
A minorAm C majorC G+G G+G

|VERSE 2|
A minorAm      C majorC
Bundle up and come with me now
G+G             FF
Down the road where to the burnt down barn
A minorAm       C majorC
We could make a blanket of coats
  G+G             FF
And breathe our souls into the neighbour’s front lawn
A minorAm       C majorC
But oh god that look in your eye
G+G         FF
Trouble that does not search words
A minorAm         C majorC
It sprung from the biblical vine
    G+G      FF
And are waiting to return to the dirt

A minorAm C majorC G+G F*
A minorAm C majorC G+G G+G

|CHORUS|
   A minorAm       C majorC
The stitches in your winter clothes
   G+G
Your cello bows
  FF
We stole your hair to make them
    A minorAm      C majorC
We're sorry for the iron shoes
  G+G
We nailed to you
  FF
And stuck you in the rain
     A minorAm       C majorC
And then you sprinted away
      G+G         FF
Sprinted away to where I don't know
A minorAm          C majorC
God's moving in your bloodstream
     G+G           FF
Where the cross beats aren't so slow

A minorAm C majorC G+G F*
A minorAm C majorC G+G F*
A minorAm C majorC G+G F*
A minorAm C majorC G+G G+G

|VERSE 3|
A minorAm        C majorC
You swept all the red from my cheeks
 G+G        FF
I didn't hear you come back inside
A minorAm        C majorC
And light up the gas in the den
  G+G         FF
And stand there in the thin winter light
A minorAm       C majorC
But oh god that curve in your spine
 G+G         FF
A augmentedA question mark , A augmentedA doctor sign
A minorAm        C majorC
was framed by the windowsill
    G+G        FF
And you saw something I did not end that night
  A minorAm       C majorC
You saw something I did not end that night
G+G    FF

|CHORUS|
   A minorAm       C majorC
The stitches in your winter clothes
   G+G
Your cello bows
  FF
We stole your hair to make them
    A minorAm      C majorC
We're sorry for the iron shoes
  G+G
We nailed to you
  FF
And stuck you in the rain
     A minorAm       C majorC
And then you sprinted away
      G+G         FF
Sprinted away to where I don't know
A minorAm          C majorC
God's moving in your bloodstream
     G+G           FF
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A minorAm          C majorC
God's moving in your bloodstream
     G+G           FF
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A minorAm          C majorC
God's moving in your bloodstream
     G+G           FF
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A minorAm          C majorC
God's moving in your bloodstream
     G+G           FF
Where the cross beats aren't so slow
A minorAm          C majorC
God's moving in your bloodstream
     G+G           FF
Where the cross beats aren't so slow


&& I don’t do banjo.

Great song, enjoy.
