D Chord in Fast Cars – question
can someone explain why when the capo is on the 2nd fret and we pluck the A string 7th fret and the B string at the 8th fret it is considered a D chord?

The capo on the second fret moves the key up one step so one can play along with the recorded version. That makes a “D” shape an E. Capos are wonderful for singing too so that one can effect transpose to a vocalist’s range while still retaining the chord shapes used to play the guitar. I hope that helps.

It does…. thank you. Does that mean if someone is singing in a higher voice you would consider moving the capo up the neck of the guitar (meaning away from the head or nut)?

Yes. But of course at some point their voice range might be an octave lower.
