What you are playing
Chords for π ππ + π πππ, laid out across its 5:55 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords β with a capo on fret 7 the same song becomes A Am Em D C G F Dm Gβ― B E Fβ― Cβ― Dβ― Gβ―m Cβ―m, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 16 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.
Play it in another key
The same song, moved. Every row is π ππ + π πππ shifted by that many semitones β useful when the recording sits too high or too low for your voice. The chords keep their relationships, so the song is unchanged apart from its pitch.

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.
