Or you could substitute a jazzier Fmaj9: 0413 (3rd-less), 0410 (5th-less) or 2433 (rootless).
Bill has described this very well, and also put things into the right context. The final 2 bars are played using the same Fmaj7 shape as tabbed, as you are already holding the chord shape that you are referring to, there is no need to change the fingering
There is another tricky chord shape earlier in this song, it's 2258 (Dm) any suggestions about fingerings?
I’ve been working on that one. The easiest suggestion is move from a tenor scale to a concert. Absent that.
After that, bar the entire second fret with your index finger, hit the 5th fret with your ring finger and pinky in the 8th fret. I also find it helpful to not have your thumb in the middle of the neck, but closer to the treble side of the neck.
