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]

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

[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]
