F#m7add11 is named F#m7 in the lyrics section for the sake of being able to fit the chord changes
to the lyrics.
F#m13 omits the 5th which is quite normal in voicing a chord on guitar that in its full form contains 7 notes,
as well as the 9th, but contains the 7th and 13th along with the minor 3rd which are the most important notes
in determining a minor 13th chord.  Can also be thought of as B7add11/F#.

Hall adds a finger to go from A to Amaj7/G#, as you see in the fingerpicking section, I haven't added this
chord change to the lyrics, but this continues on through the whole song, through the strumming sections
you'll want to put emphasis on strumming that E string to make it stand out.
