Ooh, I bet you’re wonderin’ how I knew,
. A G7
‘Bout your plans to make me blue.
. Dm
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
. A G7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
. Bm G7
It took me by surprise, I must say,
. Dm G7
When I found out yesterday.
Dm F Dm
I heard it through the grapevine;
G
Not much longer, would you be mine.
. Dm F Dm
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine;
G7 Dm
Oh, I’m just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
Dm
I know a man ain’t sup-posed to cry,
. A G7
But these tears, I can’t hold in-side.
. Dm
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
. A G7
‘Cos you mean that much to me.
. Bm G7
You could have told me your-self,
. Dm G7
That you loved someone else.
Dm F Dm
Instead, I heard it through the grapevine;
G
Not much longer, would you be mine.
. Dm F Dm
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine;
G7 Dm
Oh, I’m just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
Dm
People say; believe half of what you see,
. A G7
Son, and none of what you hear.
. Dm
But I can’t help, but be confused,
. A G7
If it’s true, please tell me, dear.
. Bm G7
Do you plan to let me go,
. Dm G7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
Dm F Dm
I heard it through the grapevine;
G
Not much longer, would you be mine.
. Dm F Dm
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine;
G7 Dm
Oh, I’m just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
