[Intro]
Gm C/D, Gm C/G Gm (x5)
[Verse 1]
Gm C/G Gm
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
D C7
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
Gm C/G Gm
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
D C7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
[Bridge 1]
Em C7
It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
Gm C7
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
[Chorus 1]
Gm C7 Gm
I heard it through the grape-vine;
C
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Gm C7 Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C7 (Gm)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Gm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
C/G Gm C/G Gm, C/G
Not much longer would you be my baby).
[Verse 2]
Gm C/G Gm
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
D C7
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
Gm C/G Gm
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
D C7
'Cos you mean that much to me.
[Bridge 2]
Em C7
You could have told me your-self,
Gm C7
That you loved someone else.
[Chorus 2]
Gm C7 Gm
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C
Not much longer would you be mine.
Gm C7 Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C7 (Gm)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Gm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
C/G Gm C/G Gm, C/G
Not much longer would you be my baby).
[Interlude]
Gm C/D, Gm C/G Gm (x5)
[Verse 3]
Gm
People say; believe half of what you see,
D C7
Son, and none of what you hear.
Gm
But I can't help, but be confused,
D C7
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
[Bridge 3]
Em C7
Do you plan to let me go,
Gm C7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
[Chorus 3]
Gm C7 Gm
I heard it through the grape-vine;
C
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Gm C7 Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C7 Gm
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Gm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
C/G Gm C/G Gm, C/G
Not much longer would you be my baby).
