What you are playing
Chords for Beggin' (Lyrics/Testo), laid out across its 3:31 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 2 the same song becomes Em F Am Dm Bm E D A G B, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 10 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

The same song, moved. Every row is Beggin' (Lyrics/Testo) 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.
