This should be pretty accurate, at ome points the A may be A7 as well. sus#4 is a sus4 with an
augmented fourth so for example
Dsus#4: x x 0 2 3 4
sometimes the Dm is decorated by the #4!
F C means one quarter note F immediately followed by a C (just check the song).
This is mostly chords, you can play around those.
