What you are playing
Chords for If I Can´t Love Her Beauty and the Beast, laid out across its 4:57 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 4 the same song becomes A F♯m D B E C G♯ Am Dm C♯m G Bm F♯ Em D♯m G♯m F A♯, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 18 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.
