C                     Eb F  C
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
             G                                 F
Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue
C                   Eb F  C
With some other girl you knew before
G                                F
Between the two of us girls you know I love you more

[Bridge]
Am                     F
It took me by surprise I must say
Am                F
When I found out yesterday.

[Chorus]
                        C                             F
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
           C                       F
Not much longer would you be mine
                        C                            F
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
         C                                       F
And I'm just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
    C       Bb C  G F Eb C
Oh yes, I am,
C    Bb         C           G F Eb
Baby won't you listen to me.

[Verse 2]
             C                 Eb       Bb C
Boy take a good look at these tears in my eyes.
                  G                    F
Baby, baby these tears I can't hold inside
C           Eb   Bb      C
Losin' you would end my life you see
             G         F
Because you mean that much to me

[Bridge]
Am                F
You could've told me yourself
Am                  F
That you love some body else.

[Chorus]
           C                             F
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
                C                 F
Oh-h, not much longer you be mine
        C                          F
Oh, I heard it, yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)
     C                                       F
Oh, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
    C       Bb C  G F Eb C
Oh yes, I am,

[Instrumental]
C   Bb C  G F Eb

F
Go-o-o-o-o, go
Go, I gotta go
Go, go
You gotta let me go
Go, go, go
I gotta go whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 3]
             C                F
Say believe half of what you see
           C                  F
Oh, ho, and none of what you hear
          C                  F
Baby, but I just can't help bein' confused
         C                          F
If it's true please baby, won't ya tell me dear

[Bridge]
        Am              F
Oh-h-h, do you plan to let me go
Am                      F
For the other girl you loved before?

[Chorus]
                       C                         F
Don't ya know that I heard through the grapevine
          C                       F
Not much longer would you be mine
                       C                      F
Don't ya know that I heard it, yes I heard it
        C                 F
Oh, I heard it, heard it          [Fade]
