What you are playing
Chords for Be Like A Woman, laid out across its 4:18 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 1 the same song becomes A Bm B E C G♯m G D Em F A♯ Gm, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 12 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.
