       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] Dm G/D Dm G/D Dm (x5) [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).
