In addition to the flourishes that I've tried to notate, they sometimes use Cadd4 as a passing chord in the G/B-C-F/A passages between the C and F/A chords. I don't hear it in the song but I also like to throw a Fmaj7/A into the F/A vamps sometimes. There is also some bass hammer-on played over the F/A chord soemtimes that I couldn't figure out.
