What you are playing
Chords for La buena y la mala, laid out across its 3:25 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in C major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 5 the same song becomes Em D C G Dm E Am, every one of them an open shape. Every one of its 7 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

On a guitar there is a shortcut in one direction: transpose down by n and put a capo on fret n, and you are back at the original pitch while playing the easier shapes. That is what the capo line above is doing.
