What you are playing
Chords for The A Team, laid out across its 4:50 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in A major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 2 the same song becomes G Em D Am C Bm, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 6 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

The same song, moved. Every row is The A Team 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.
