      Ebm                  Ebsus4 Ebm
Ooh I bet you're wonderin' how I  knew
           Bb               Ab
'Bout your plans to make me blue
                Ebm     Ebsus4 Ebm
With some other guy you knew before
                  Bb                        Ab
Between two of us guys you know I loved you more

                 Cm           Ab
It took me by surprise I must say
       Ebm             Ab
When I found out yesterday
                      Ebm                  Ebmsus4 Ebm
Don't you know that I heard it through the grape - vine
         Bb
Not much longer would you be mine
      Ebm                  Ebmsus4 Ebm
Oh, I heard it through the grape - vine
        Bb
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeh
   Ebm                  Ebmsus4   Ebm                       Ebsus4
(I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be
 Ebm
 my baby)

Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm Ebmsus4 Ebm

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
Cos you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)

Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm (x3)

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true please tell me dear.

Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)
