I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
[Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm Ebmsus4 Ebm] (x5)
Ooh I [Ebm]bet you're wonderin' [Ebsus4]how I [Ebm]knew
'Bout your [Bb]plans to make me [Ab]blue
With some other [Ebm]guy you [Ebsus4]knew be[Ebm]fore
Between two of us [Bb]guys you know I loved you [Ab]more
It took me by sur[Cm]prise I must [Ab]say
When I [Ebm]found out yester[Ab]day
Don't you know that I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grape - [Ebm]vine
Not much [Bb]longer would you be mine
Oh, I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grape - [Ebm]vine
Oh, I'm [Bb]just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grapevine [Ebm]not much longer would you [Ebsus4]be
[Ebm]
my baby)
[Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm Ebmsus4 Ebm]
I know[Ebm] a man ain't supposed[Ebsus4] to cry[Ebm]
But these t[Bb]ears I can't hold[Ab] inside
Losing you would[Ebm] end my [Ebsus4]life yo[Ebm]u see
Cos you mean that [Bb]much to me [Ab]
You could have to[Cm]ld me yoursel[Ab]f
That yo[Ebm]u loved someone [Ab]else
Instead I heard it thr[Ebm]ough the grapevine [Ebmsus4] [Ebm]
Not much [Bb]longer would you be mine
Oh, I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grapevin[Ebm]e
And I'm [Bb]just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grapevine [Ebm]not much longer would[Ebsus4] you be [Ebm]my baby)
[Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm Ebsus4 Ebm] (x3)
People[Ebm] say believe half of [Ebsus4]what yo[Ebm]u see
Son, and no[Bb]ne of what you he[Ab]ar
But I can't help[Ebm] but be [Ebsus4]confuse[Ebm]d
If it's true pleas[Bb]e tell me dear. [Ab]
Do you plan to le[Cm]t me go [Ab]
For the[Ebm] other guy you l[Ab]oved before?
Don't you know that I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grapevin[Ebm]e
Not much [Bb]longer would you be mine
Oh, I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grapevin[Ebm]e
And I'm [Bb]just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I [Ebm]heard it through the [Ebmsus4]grapevine [Ebm]not much longer would[Ebsus4] you be [Ebm]my baby)
