What you are playing
Chords for Who Knows, laid out across its 3:46 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 1 the same song becomes C D F Em Fm Am C♯, which sits easier under the hand. 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.
