Excellent! I would change 2 things (slightly)...
[tab] C FM7 C
v v v v v v v v v...
I [electric] -9--------12-/-14-------17-\-9---|
-----------------|-------------|-----|
-----------------|-------------|-----|
II [acoustic] -8--------8--\-1--------1--/-8---|[/tab]
F6 would be something like: x 3 3 2 3 x (1 3 3 2 3 1)
FMaj7 would be: x 3 3 2 1 0 (x 0 3 2 1 0)
And I'm pretty sure the "D" chords should be "Dm"

that's GOOD!
