The A major chord shape is pretty much the same for the 3 keys that it is in, the variations come with the extended chords. The major shapes are closely or directly relative to the Minor Shapes C A G E D

Major C A G E D
Major	I. - IV. - V.
Major 7th	I. - IV.	V.	I. - IV.	V.
Major 9th	I. - IV. - V.	I. - IV. - V.	I. - IV. - V.
Major 11th	I. - IV. - V	I. - IV. - V.
Major 13th / minor 7th	. I. - IV. - V.

These chords are not named 'A Major' - the note with the 'white dot' is the naming-root tone, These shapes also will be used three times for each key, or once for each major tone (for the Key of A it would be A D E). A common shape based chord are 'dominant chords'...
