What you are playing
Chords for unravel / THE FIRST TAKE, laid out across its 5:08 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in F♯ minor. It leans on barre chords, and no capo position opens all of them up. Every one of its 8 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.
