*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: Ebm)
[Intro]
Dm G/D, Dm G/D Dm (x5)
[Verse 1]
Dm G/D Dm
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
A G7
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
Dm G/D Dm
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
A G7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
[Bridge 1]
Bm G7
It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
Dm G7
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
[Chorus 1]
Dm G7 Dm
I heard it through the grape-vine;
G
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Dm G7 Dm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
G7 (Dm)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Dm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
G/D Dm G/D Dm, G/D
Not much longer would you be my baby).
[Verse 2]
Dm G/D Dm
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
A G7
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
Dm G/D Dm
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
A G7
'Cos you mean that much to me.
[Bridge 2]
Bm G7
You could have told me your-self,
Dm G7
That you loved someone else.
[Chorus 2]
Dm G7 Dm
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
G
Not much longer would you be mine.
Dm G7 Dm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
G7 (Dm)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Dm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
G/D Dm G/D Dm, G/D
Not much longer would you be my baby).
[Interlude]
Dm G/D, Dm G/D Dm (x5)
[Verse 3]
Dm
People say; believe half of what you see,
A G7
Son, and none of what you hear.
Dm
But I can't help, but be confused,
A G7
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
[Bridge 3]
Bm G7
Do you plan to let me go,
Dm G7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
[Chorus 3]
Dm G7 Dm
I heard it through the grape-vine;
G
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Dm G7 Dm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
G7 Dm
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Dm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
G/D Dm G/D Dm, G/D
Not much longer would you be my baby).
