*from 'Everybody Needs Love' (1967)*
1st
(Original Key: Ebm)
Intro:
Dm Dsus4, Dm Dsus4 Dm (x5)
Verse 1:
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.
Bridge 1:
It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that:
Chorus 1:
I heard it through the grape-vine;
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
Break:
(I heard it through the grapevine,
Dsus4 Dm Dsus4 Dm, Dsus4, Dm
Not much longer would you be my baby).
Verse 2:
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
'Cos you mean that much to me.
Bridge 2:
You could have told me your-self,
That you loved someone else.
Chorus 2:
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
Break:
(I heard it through the grapevine,
Dsus4 Dm Dsus4 Dm, Dsus4, Dm
Not much longer would you be my baby).
Interlude:
Dm Dsus4, Dm Dsus4 Dm (x5)
Verse 3:
People say; believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
But I can't help, but be con-fused,
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
Bridge 3:
Do you plan to let me go,
For the other guy you loved be-fore?
Chorus 3:
I heard it through the grape-vine;
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.
Break:
(I heard it through the grapevine,
Dsus4 Dm Dsus4 Dm, Dsus4, Dm
Not much longer would you be my baby).
