     Dm
Ooo, bet you're wondering how I knew,
            A7                G
about your plans to make me blue.
                Dm
With some other guy that you knew before?
                       A7
Between the two of us guys you
                 G
know I love you more.
                  Bm           G           Dm
It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out
       G
yesterday.

Chorus:
       Dm
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine,
          G
not much longer would
                    Dm
you be mine. Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine,
         G
and I'm just about to
                           Dm
lose my mind, honey, honey yeah.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could've told me yourself
that you found someone else
Instead

Chorus:
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

People say "You hear from what you see
Not, not, not from what you hear."
I can't help but being confused
If it's true, won't you tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before?

Chorus:
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Aah-aah, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
