He changes how he plays the F.  While picking he plays all the 
strings open except the bass note.  While strumming (chorus)
he adds the others too (I think) but it’s definitely not a full
F, and these sound nice.  Sounds like an Iron & Wine F to me.
For finger picking technique, it’s easy, hit the bass note, 
Then find your way to the high note (E string on Am and B string

AmOctober's got those Corange eyes
But Gsomehow I Fstill lost sight
AmWhen you lifted the Clid off of my Gpumpkin head 
And Fkissed me goodnight
AmShould it be a Cthorn in my side
We Gnever quite Fbroke that horse
AmShe slept in the Ccul-de-sac right

AmBundle up and Ccome with me now
GDown the road where to the Fburnt down barn
AmWe could make a Cblanket of coats
And Gbreathe our souls into the Fneighbour’s front lawn
AmBut oh god that Clook in your eye
GTrouble that does Fnot search words
AmIt sprung from the Cbiblical vine
And are Gwaiting to reFturn to the dirt
  Am    C    G  F*
Am  C  G  G
[CHORUS]
The sAmtitches in your Cwinter clothes
Your Gcello bows
We Fstole your hair to make them
We're sAmorry for the Ciron shoes
We Gnailed to you
And Fstuck you in the rain
And then Amyou sprinted awCay
Sprinted awGay to where I don't Fknow
AmGod's moving in your Cbloodstream
Where the Gcross beats aren't so Fslow

AmYou swept all the Cred from my cheeks
I Gdidn't hear you Fcome back inside
AmAnd light up the Cgas in the den
And Gstand there in the Fthin winter light
AmBut oh god that Ccurve in your spine
A Gquestion mark , A dFoctor sign 
Amwas framed by the Cwindowsill
And you Gsaw something I Fdid not end that night

[VERSE 1]

Am C

October's got those orange eyes

G F

But somehow I still lost sight

Am C G

When you lifted the lid off of my pumpkin head

And kissed me goodnight

Am C

Should it be a thorn in my side

G F

We never quite broke that horse

Am C

She slept in the cul-de-sac right

Seven miles from my front porch

[VERSE 2]

Am C

Bundle up and come with me now

G F

Down the road where to the burnt down barn

Am C

We could make a blanket of coats

G F

And breathe our souls into the neighbour’s front lawn

Am C

But oh god that look in your eye

G F

Trouble that does not search words

Am C

It sprung from the biblical vine

G F

And are waiting to return to the dirt

Am C G F

Am C G G

[CHORUS]

Am C

The stitches in your winter clothes

Your cello bows

We stole your hair to make them

Am C

We're sorry for the iron shoes

We nailed to you

And stuck you in the rain

Am C

And then you sprinted away

G F

Sprinted away to where I don't know

Am C

God's moving in your bloodstream

G F

Where the cross beats aren't so slow

Am C G F

Am C G G

|VERSE 3|

Am C

You swept all the red from my cheeks

G F

I didn't hear you come back inside

Am C

And light up the gas in the den

G F

And stand there in the thin winter light

Am C

But oh god that curve in your spine

G F

A question mark , A doctor sign

Am C

was framed by the windowsill

G F

And you saw something I did not end that night

Am C

You saw something I did not end that night

G F

[CHORUS]

Am C

The stitches in your winter clothes

Your cello bows

We stole your hair to make them

Where the cross beats aren't so slow

God's moving in your bloodstream

Where the cross beats aren't so slow
