        Cm                   F/C   Cm
 Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
            G                F7
 'Bout your plans to make me blue.
                 Cm      F/C     Cm
 With some other guy you knew be-fore,
                   G                          F7
 Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
 
 
 [Bridge 1]
 
                   Am            F7
 It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
        Cm               F7
 When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
 
 
 [Chorus 1]
 
   Cm                   F7    Cm
 I heard it through the grape-vine;
          F
 Not much longer, would you be mine.
       Cm                   F7    Cm
 Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         F7                                       (Cm)
 Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

 [Verse 2]
 
          Cm            F/C      Cm
 I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
           G                      F7
 But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
        Cm                F/C       Cm
 Losing you, would end my life, you see,
          G                 F7
 'Cos you mean that much to me.
 
 
 [Bridge 2]
 
                Am           F7
 You could have told me your-self,
          Cm            F7
 That you loved someone else.
 
 
 [Chorus 2]
 
            Cm                   F7    Cm
 Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
          F
 Not much longer would you be mine.
       Cm                   F7    Cm
 Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         F7                                       (Cm)
 Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

  People say; believe half of what you see,
          G                F7
 Son, and none of what you hear.
             Cm
 But I can't help, but be confused,
         G                     F7
 If it's true, please tell me, dear.
 
 
 [Bridge 3]

 Do you plan to let me go,
               Cm               F7 
 For the other guy you loved be-fore?
