Intro
[Dm] [G/D] [Dm] [G/D] [Dm] (x5)
Verse 1
[Dm] [G/D] [Dm]
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
[A7] [G7]
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
[Dm] [G/D] [Dm]
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
[A7] [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,
[D7] [G7]
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
Chorus 1
[D7] [G7] [D7]
I heard it through the grape-vine;
[G7] [G7]
Not much longer, would you be mine.
[D7] [G7] [D7]
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
[G7] Riff [D] [D] [F] [G] [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,
[A7] [G7]
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
[Dm] [G/D] [Dm]
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
[A7] [G7]
'Cos you mean that much to me.
Bridge 2
[Bm] [G7]
You could have told me your-self,
[D7] [G7]
That you loved someone else.
Chorus 2
[D7] [G7] [D7]
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
[G7] [G7]
Not much longer would you be mine.
[D7] [G7] [D7]
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
[G7] Riff [D] [D] [F] [G] [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

Verse 3
[Dm]
People say; believe half of what you see,
[A7] [G7]
Son, and none of what you hear.
[Dm]
But I can't help, but be confused,
[A7] [G7]
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
Bridge 3
[Bm] [G7]
Do you plan to let me go,
[D7] [G7]
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
Chorus 3
[D7] [G7] [D7]
I heard it through the grape-vine;
[G7] [G7]
Not much longer, would you be mine.
[D7] [G7] [D7]
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
[G7] Riff [D] [D] [F] [G] [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).
