What you are playing
Chords for Oceans & Engines, laid out across its 6:35 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in C♯ major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 6 the same song becomes G Em C A D Cm, 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.

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.
