For notes that are blown I’ll just write the number, for notes that are drawn I’ll write

thanks for posting this.. what a great song. Just a quick suggestion. When playing the F chord during the verses, i recommend adding a little flare on the high E string-3rd fret. Just on that first stroke. sounds perfect!
