(Gsus2)See you make your way through the crowd and say “hel (Bm)lo”;

lit tle did I know...

That (G)you were Ro me o, you were (A)throw ing peb bles, and my (Bm)dad dy said, “Stay a way from (D)Ju li et.” And I was (G)cry in’ on the stair case, (A)beg gin’ you, “Please don’t (Bm)go.”

And I said, (D)“Ro me o, take me some where we can be a lone.

Oh oh (A)oh,

oh oh (Bm7)oh.

’Cause (G)we were both young when I first saw

(D)you.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes. The original is in D, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Love Story" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
