What you are playing
Chords for 2 Hard 4 The Radio, laid out across its 3:04 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 2 the same song becomes F G Em D C Am Dm A, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 8 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

The same song, moved. Every row is 2 Hard 4 The Radio shifted by that many semitones — 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.
