    G                D     G
Waltzing round the room tonight
C                    D     G
In someone else's clothes
 
G                     D       G
You're always coming out of things
 
  C              G  D
Smelling like a rose
 
Em                                                         A
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery
 
G          D       C        G
You'd be happy as you could be
 
C        D         G
If you belonged to me

G                      D G
You say let's go to the rodeo
 
C                    D   G
And see some cowboy fall
 
G                     D    G
Sometimes it seems to me you've
          C         G  D
Got no sympathy at all
 
Em                                               A
You keep on going on and on about how you're so free
 
G          D       C        G
You'd be happy as you could be
 
C         D        G
If you belonged to me
 
C
It ain't easy to get to you.
 
Em
But there must be some kind of a way
 
C
If only to connect to you
 
G              D             C
For only one moment of each day
 
G                          D
You're saying that you're all washed up
 
      C              D  G
Got nothing else to give
 
G                      D         G
Seems like you would've figured out
 
C                      G D
How long you have to live
 
Em                                                        A
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddy's knee
 
G             C        G
Oh how happy you could be
 
C         D        G
If you belonged to me

I think your chords sound better with a capo at the 7th fret instead of the 5th. Besides that, great job tabbing it out.

Right, capo should be 7th fret (which makes the sound a little thin when playing alone, I think). Worse though, there are many wrong chords and important things missing here (for example, the chorus is | G F | C G | F C | G | but that'S not the only problem here).
