Artists: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Album: Chronicle/Cosmo's Factory
Song: I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Tuning: Drop-D - DADGBD

I decided to do a more explicit tab of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". The song can 
divided into 3 parts which I'll call intro, verse, and chorus. The intro is played as a 
between the chorus/verse and as a bridge between the chorus/solo.

Intro:

Guitar 1:

E-------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------| x 4
D-------------------------------------------------|
A--5~-5-8-5~-5~-8-7~------------------------------|
E--0~-0-0-0~-0~-0~0~------------------------------|

Guitar 1 (Alternative, for different sound/more fun):

E-------------------------------------------------|
B--3--3-3-3--3--3-3-------------------------------|
G--2--2-2-2--2--2-2-------------------------------| x 4
D--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-------------------------------|
A--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-------------------------------|
E--0--0-3-0--0--3-2-------------------------------|

Guitar 2 (fade in after drums start):

   D5
E--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5---------------------|
B--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3---------------------|
G--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2---------------------| x 2
D--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0---------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------|

*Guitar 2's part in the intro is played 4 times for every repeated instance*
