Chords for Something, laid out across its 3:08 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords, and no capo position opens all of them up. Every one of its 11 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

The same song, moved. Every row is Something 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.
