In the line "so don't be afraid to let them show" the chord changes should be F, C, E7 (not F) then Am. Other than that excellent transcription.

If you listen closely to the recording, in the first, second, and third chorus the bass is playing an F with a major chord over it. But, in listening yet again, the final time that line comes up, you are correct on the E7. Noted and changed. Thanks!

seems like everyone is so picky. Just play what you feel!
