Biography:
Shearwater is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas, led by multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Jonathan Meiburg
The band was formed by two members of Okkervil River, back-up vocalist and accordion/keyboard player Jonathan Meiburg and singer and guitarist Will Sheff, so they could write quieter songs. Beginning in 2005, Sheff lessened his role in the band, leaving Meiburg as the band's songwriter from Palo Santo on.

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
D#sus4: 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.
