If You Belonged To Me (1990)
(Dylan/Harrison/Lynne/Orbison/Petty)
From: "Vol 3"
There are loads and loads of acoustics on this track using capos in different
positions. When I'm alone I use this version here: It is easy to play and
has more punch than the high one played with capo 7th fret which is very
prominent on the original recording.
If you have more than one player, though, I'd suggest for the second guitar:
transpose this tab down 5 steps (play in G) and use the capo on the
7th fret.

Fmaj7 1-x-2-2-1-0 (= Am/F)
You're waltzing round the room tonight
In someone else's clo-othes
You're always coming out of things
Smelling like a ro-ose
Am Abaug C/G Am/F#
You hang your head and your heart is filled
With so much mise-ry
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You say let's go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fa-all
Sometimes it seems to me you've got
No sympathy at a-all
Am Abaug C/G Am/F#
You keep on going on and on
About how you're so free
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
MIDDLE 8
It ain't easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For one moment of each day
You're saying that you're all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you would've figured out
How long you have to li-ive
Am Abaug C/G Am/F#
You could feel like a baby again
Sitting on your daddy's knee
Oh how happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

The guy you're with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his no-ose
Am Abaug C/G Am/F#
You look so sad, you're going so mad
Any fool can see
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
