Am D/D, Am D/A Am (x5)
[Verse 1]
Am D/A Am
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
E D7
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
Am D/A Am
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
E D7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
[Bridge 1]
F#m D7
It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
Am D7
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
[Chorus 1]
Am D7 Am
I heard it through the grape-vine;
D
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Am D7 Am
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D7 (Am)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Am
(I heard it through the grapevine,
D/A Am D/A Am, D/A
Not much longer would you be my baby).
[Verse 2]
Am D/A Am
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
E D7
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
Am D/A Am
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
E D7
'Cos you mean that much to me.
[Bridge 2]
F#m D7
You could have told me your-self,
Am D7
That you loved someone else.
[Chorus 2]
Am D7 Am
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D
Not much longer would you be mine.
Am D7 Am
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D7 (Am)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Am
(I heard it through the grapevine,
D/A Am D/A Am, D/A
Not much longer would you be my baby).
[Interlude]
Am D/D, Am D/A Am (x5)
[Verse 3]
Am
People say; believe half of what you see,
E D7
Son, and none of what you hear.
Am
But I can't help, but be confused,
E D7
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
[Bridge 3]
F#m D7
Do you plan to let me go,
Am D7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
[Chorus 3]
Am D7 Am
I heard it through the grape-vine;
D
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Am D7 Am
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D7 Am
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
Am
(I heard it through the grapevine,
D/A Am D/A Am, D/A
Not much longer would you be my baby).
