Dm - G (3x) + Dm - G (2x)

Dm

1. Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

A G

'bout you're plans to make me blue

Dm

with some other guy that you knew before,

A G

between the two of us guys you know I love you more.

Bm G

It took me by surprise I must say,

Dm G

when I found out yesterday.

Dm

Don’t you know that I heard it through the grapevine,

G

not much longer would you be mine.

Dm

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G Dm

oh, I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey, yeah !

+ G - Dm - G

Dm

2. I know a man ain't supposed to cry,

A G

but these tears I can't hold inside.

Dm

Losin' you would end my life, you see,

A G

cause you mean that much to me.

Bm G

You could have told me yourself

Dm G

that you love someone else.

Dm

Instead, I heard it through the grapevine,

G

not much longer would you be mine.

Dm

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G Dm

and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey, yeah !

3. People say, believe half of what you see,

A G

Son, and none of what you hear.

Dm

But I can't help bein' confused,

A G

if it's true, please, tell me. dear !

Bm G

Do you plan to let me go

Dm G

for the other guy you loved before?

Dm

Don’t you know, I heard it through the grapevine,

G

not much longer would you be mine.
