What you are playing
Chords for Rafa Sánchez & Lydia, laid out across its 3:37 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in B major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 4 the same song becomes Am F G Dm A D C Em Bm B D♯ Cm, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 12 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.
