Sendin' prayers to an autumn harvest moon

The friendliest place I've ever known

All the chords seem right, but you should double check your lyrics.

Is the F chord actually an F? I'm new to guitar and music so I don't really know the sounds all to well yet by ear and I trust that it probably is, looking at the video I found a frame where it shows him playing a part marked as an F, but I've never seen F played that way (1 finger in the 1st fret maybe?, 1 finger 2nd fret, then 2 fingers in the third fret on the 2nd and 3rd string from the top). Is this one of the versions mentioned on the list on here when I scroll through F variations?
