Gm
 Ooo, I bet you wonder how I knew
D7Gm
’Bout your plans to make me blue  
Gm
With some other guy you knew before
D7Gm
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more  
Gm
It took me by surprise, I must say
C
When I found out yesterday
Gm
Don’t you know that I heard it through the grapevine
C
Not much longer would you be mine
Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
CGm
Oh, and just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah

(I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby)

Gm
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
D7Gm
But these tears I can’t hold inside   
Gm
Losin’ you would end my life, you see
D7Gm
Cuz you mean that much to me   
Gm
You could have told me yourself
C
That you love somebody else
Gm
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
C
Not much longer would you be mine
Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
CGm
And I’m just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah

(I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby)

Gm
People say believe half of what you see
D7Gm
Son, and none of what you hear   
Gm
But I can’t hide bein’ confused
D7Gm
If it’s true, please tell me, dear   
Gm
Do you plan to let me go
C
For the other guy you loved before
Gm
Don’t you know, I heard it through the grapevine
C
Not much longer would you be mine
Gm
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
CGm
Ooo, I’m just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah

(I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby)

Gm
 Honey, honey, I know that you’re lettin’ me go
(I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby)
I said, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooo, heard it through the grapevine
