What you are playing
Chords for by the wings of a tragedy (Sub. Español - Ingles), laid out across its 2:58 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in C minor. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 3 the same song becomes G E C A Am Em D, every one of them an open shape. Every one of its 7 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.
Play it in another key
The same song, moved. Every row is by the wings of a tragedy (Sub. Español - Ingles) 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.
