I Heard it Through the Grapevine

[Intro]
 
 Em  A/D, Em  A/E  Em (x5)
 
 
 [Verse 1]
 
        Em                   A/E   Em
 Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
            B                A7
 'Bout your plans to make me blue.
                 Em      A/E     Em
 With some other guy you knew be-fore,
                   B                          A7
 Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
 
 
 [Bridge 1]
 
                   C#m            A7
 It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
        Em               A7
 When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
 
 
 [Chorus 1]
 
   Em                   A7    Em
 I heard it through the grape-vine;
          A
 Not much longer, would you be mine.
       Em                   A7    Em
 Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A7                                       (Em)
 Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
 
 
 [Break]
 
    Em
 (I heard it through the grapevine,
                           A/E Em       A/E  Em, A/E
 Not much longer would you be  my baby).
 
 
 [Verse 2]
 
          Em            A/E      Em
 I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
           B                      A7
 But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
        Em                A/E       Em
 Losing you, would end my life, you see,
          B                 A7
 'Cos you mean that much to me.
 
 
 [Bridge 2]
 
                C#m           A7
 You could have told me your-self,
          Em            A7
 That you loved someone else.
 
 
 [Chorus 2]
 
            Em                   A7    Em
 Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
          A
 Not much longer would you be mine.
       Em                   A7    Em
 Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A7                                       (Em)
 Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
 
 
 [Break]
 
    Em
 (I heard it through the grapevine,
                           A/E Em       A/E  Em, A/E
 Not much longer would you be  my baby).
 
 
 [Interlude]
 
 Em  A/D, Em  A/E  Em (x5)
 
 
 [Verse 3]
 
 Em
  People say; believe half of what you see,
          B                A7
 Son, and none of what you hear.
             Em
 But I can't help, but be confused,
         B                     A7
 If it's true, please tell me, dear.
 
 
 [Bridge 3]
 
        C#m             A7
 Do you plan to let me go,
               Em               A7 
 For the other guy you loved be-fore?
 
 
 [Chorus 3]
 
   Em                   A7    Em
 I heard it through the grape-vine;
          A
 Not much longer, would you be mine.
       Em                   A7    Em
 Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A7                                        Em
 Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

    Em
 (I heard it through the grapevine,
                           A/E Em       A/E  Em, A/E
 Not much longer would you be  my baby).
