If everything is right with your guitar, normally speaking, if you've placed your fingers correctly, there's no reason for it not to sound true. Maybe you're trying to go too fast? Start slowly. The song won't sound the same, most probably as when played fast but it's better to get the feel of the chords early rather than starting blotchy and then trying to get over the bad fingering you've picked up. Speed will come with practice. I'm not saying you're fingering them badly but it's better to start nice and slow than fast and choppy (though choppy can be nice if it's what you're looking for). So just take your time and figure out what you're doing wrong! Good luck!
