Notes

all three-note

Chords for celeste, laid out across its 4:09 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 2 the same song becomes Cm G♯ F Am D G C Fm Dm A E Em D♯, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 13 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 celeste 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.
