      This is Fminor to C and back to F, I really need the A! And the E then brought back right round to the F! It's time to play the F chord if you caaaaaaaaaan! And heeeeere am I struggling with the F chord, doing it, the barchord way. The F chord makes me blue, makes guitar damned hard too. . .

      You are nearly right. At around 3:50 in the official video at „floating round my tin can“ you can see that he moves the Fmaj7/C chord (033210) two frets up which gives 055430 or EDGBDE which is just an Em7. Interesting way to play the Em7. Did not find this in any chord library but it works.
