I heard it through the grapevine (Listen to midi) (sample)

Dm

1. Ooh, 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

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G

not much longer would you be mine.

Dm

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G Dm

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

Dm

2. You know that 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 found someone else.

Dm

Instead, I heard it through the grapevine,

G

not much longer would you be mine.

Dm

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G Dm

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

Dm

3. People say you hear from what you see,

A G

na na, not from what you hear.

Dm

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 that you knew before?

Dm

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G

not much longer would you be mine.

Dm

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,

G Dm

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