Capo 1st fret
 
[Intro]
F G C
 
[Verse 1]
C                       F               G       C
My baby makes me proud. Lord, don't she make me proud
    C                              F              G
She never makes a scene by hangin' all over me in crowd
      C                    F              G       C
Cause people like to talk. Lord, how they love to talk
              C             Dm      F              G            C
But when they turn out the lights I know she'll be leavin' with me
 
[Chorus]
                F      G      C                       F    G    C
And when we get behind closed doors then she lets her hair hang down
                 F         Em    Dm
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
    Dm Em  F          Dm   Em   F           C
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
 
(Move capo to 2nd fret during the piano part)
 
[Interlude]
F G C
 
[Verse 2]
C                       F               G       C
My baby makes me smile. Lord, don't she make me smile
                        F                G
She's never far away or too tired to say I want you
C                    F           G           C
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
              C            Dm     F             G       C
But when they turn out the lights she's still a baby to me
 
[Chorus]
                F      G      C                       F    G    C
And when we get behind closed doors then she lets her hair hang down
                 F         Em    Dm
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
    Dm  Em  F          Dm  Em   F           C
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
 
  F    G      C
Behind closed doors

capo on 1st fret

This isn't right at all, with a capo on the 2nd fret. And you're missing the modulation. In the original it's C# the first verse, and then modulates up a 1/2 step to D for the second verse.

1. In the 2nd line of the chorus, an [Am7] chord should be added to the end, as in "...[F]glad that [Em]I'm a [Dm]man [Am7]". 2. In the last line of the chorus, there are 2 more chord changes, as every word has a chord change except the 1st word. The line should be "Oh, [Dm]no [Em]one [F]knows [Em]what [Dm]goes [Em]on be[F]hind [G]closed [C]doors".
