FMaj7 = 1x3210     

G7    = 320001

Fadd9 = 1x3213

Am    = xx7557

Am7   = xx757x

Gadd9 = xx5435

NOTE: I am aware that Am/F is kind of an atypical way to write a chord.

Really it is an FMaj7, but they are using that chord later. Notice the middle E in the lead line and harmonies as evidence that these are not the same chords.
