What you are playing
Chords for When I Look Into Your Eyes, laid out across its 4:14 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in D♯ minor. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 6 the same song becomes C Dm D F Am G Em F♯m A E F♯ G♯ B G♯m, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 14 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.
