I'm a bit unorthodox as far as some of my "self taught fingerings" that go back 44-odd years.
For my F in this song, I use my thumb over the sixth string, and finger as 1 3 3 2 1 1 (T P R M I I )...I pick the sixth string then strum the other five.
For the F/G, I use my pinky on the fifth and sixth strings in the third fret, and finger as 3 3 3 2 1 1 ( P P R M I I )
Everyone's pinky isn't necessarily large enough to do this....so another way is leaving out the fifth string... 3 x 3 2 1 1
( P x R M I I ), where I would pick the sixth string then strum the other four.
