Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
A#7 G#7
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
D#m G# D#m
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
A#7 G#7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
Bridge :

It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
D#7 G#7
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;
Chorus :
D#7 G#7 D#7
I heard it through the grape-vine;
G#7 G#7
Not much longer, would you be mine.
D#7 G#7 D#7
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
G#7 D# D# F# G# D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
Break :

(I heard it through the grapevine,
G# D#m G# D#m G#
Not much longer would you be my baby).
D#m G# D#m
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
A#7 G#7
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
D#m G# D#m
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
A#7 G#7
'Cos you mean that much to me.
Bridge :
Cm G#7
You could have told me your-self,
D#7 G#7
That you loved someone else.
Chorus :
D#7 G#7 D#7
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
G#7 G#7
Not much longer would you be mine.
D#7 G#7 D#7
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;

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

People say; believe half of what you see,
A#7 G#7
Son, and none of what you hear.
D#m
But I can't help, but be confused,
A#7 G#7
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
Bridge:
Cm G#7
Do you plan to let me go,
D#7 G#7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
Chorus :

Not much longer, would you be mine.

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