What you are playing
Chords for Antonio Banderas - Cancion del Mariachi, laid out across its 2:55 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in E minor.

Every one of its 9 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.
