Verse 1:

      Dm
Ooh I bet you're,
Wonderin' how I knew,
           A
'Bout your plans,
   G
To make me blue,
                Dm
With some other guy,
You knew be-fore,
                  A
Between two of us guys,
           G
You know I loved you more.

Bridge 1:

G
 It took me,
       Bm
By sur-prise,
       G
I must say,
       Dm
When I found out,
       G
Yester-day.
Don't you know that:

Chorus 1:

  Dm
I heard it through,
    Dsus4 Dm
The grape-vine,
         G
Not much longer,
Would you be mine,
      Dm
Oh, I heard it through,
    Dsus4 Dm
The grape-vine,
        G
Oh, I'm just about,
To lose my mind,
             Dm
Honey, honey yeah.

Break:

   Dm
(I heard it,
Through the grapevine,
Not much longer,
                Dsus4 Dm
Would you be my ba   -by).

Verse 2:

         Dm
I know a man ain't,
Supposed to cry,
          A
But these tears,
                G
I can't hold in-side,
Losing you would,
Dm
 End my life you see,
        A
Cos you mean,
             G
That much to me.

Bridge 2:

G
 You could have;
Bm            G
 Told me your-self,
         Dm
That you loved,
        G
Someone else.
Instead;

Chorus 2:

  Dm
I heard it through,
    Dsus4 Dm
The grape-vine,
         G
Not much longer,
Would you be mine,
      Dm
Oh, I heard it through,
    Dsus4 Dm
The grape-vine,
        G
Oh, I'm just about,
To lose my mind,
             Dm
Honey, honey yeah.

Through the grapevine,
Not much longer,

Would you be my ba   -by).

Dm
 People say believe,
Half of what you see,
         A
Son, and none,
   G
Of what you hear,
            Dm
But I can't help,
But be con-fused,
        A
If it's true,
       G
Please tell me dear.

Bridge 3:

       Bm
Do you plan,
          G
To let me go,

For the other guy,
             G
You loved be-fore?

Oh, I'm just about,
To lose my mind,

Honey, honey yeah.
