[Intro] Ebm Ebsus4, Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm - x5 - [Verse 1]
       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 be-fore,

                  Bb                Ab
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
[Bridge 1]
Ab                  Cm            Ab
 It took me by sur-prise, I must say,

       Ebm               Ab
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that:
[Chorus 1]
  Ebm                   Ebsus4 Ebm
I heard it through the grape-vine;

         Bb                         Ab
Not much longer, would you be mine.

      Ebm                   Ebsus4 Ebm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;

        Bb                     Ab                   Ebm
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
[Break]
   Ebm
- I heard it through the grapevine,

                          Ebsus4 Ebm       Ebsus4  Ebm, Ebsus4, Ebm
Not much longer would you be    my baby -.
[Verse 2]
         Ebm            Ebsus4    Ebm
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,

          Bb                      Ab
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.

       Ebm                Ebsus4     Ebm
Losing you, would end my life, you see,

         Bb                 Ab
'Cos you mean that much to me.
[Bridge 2]
Ab               Cm           Ab
 You could have told me your-self,

         Ebm            Ab
That you loved someone else.
[Chorus 2]
           Ebm                   Ebsus4 Ebm
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;

         Ab
Not much longer would you be mine.

      Ebm                   Ebsus4 Ebm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;

        Bb                     Ab                   Ebm
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

- I heard it through the grapevine,

                          Ebsus4 Ebm       Ebsus4  Ebm, Ebsus4, Ebm
Not much longer would you be    my baby -.
Interlude: Ebm Ebsus4, Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm - x5 - [Verse 3]
Ebm
 People say; believe half of what you see,

         Bb                Ab
Son, and none of what you hear.

            Ebm
But I can't help, but be con-fused,

        Bb                     Ab
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
[Bridge 3]
       Cm             Ab
Do you plan to let me go,

              Ebm               Ab 
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
[Chorus 3]
  Ebm                   Ebsus4 Ebm
I heard it through the grape-vine;

         Bb                         Ab
Not much longer, would you be mine.

      Ebm                   Ebsus4 Ebm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;

        Bb                     Ab                   Ebm
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Not much longer would you be    my baby -.
