What you are playing
Chords for I Can't Go For That (No Can Do), laid out across its 4:14 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 3 the same song becomes D Am C Dm G A F, 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.
