How do you work out chords using a capo?

[GREENMACHINE]

Hey guys,
I don't really like playing guitar with a capo on. But I'm trying to learn a song called 'Raining on Sunday' by Keith Urban and the chord chart thing says capo 4th fret.

I don't want to use a capo, I would rather just play the chords, but I don't know how to work the chords out lol, if that makes sense.

These are the chords written at capo 4th fret: Em, C, G, D, Am7, Dm7

Can anyone work out what these are if they were to be played without a capo?

Many thanks,
Cav

I hope you know that capo at the 4th fret means everything's transposed up 2 whole steps. So the Em->G#m, C->E, etc.

I am not trying to be an ***, but I think you should try to figure out what all the chords transpose to. It is a useful exercise.

You could just play it without the capo. I'd assume the capo's used to match his vocal range. Transposing for the singer is common enough, I had to play Folsom Prison Blues in C recently so the guy could actually sing it.

Thanks guys, now that I have a starting point I can do the rest.

Thanks again,
