 HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE

 

Marvin Gaye (also Creedence Clearwater Revival)

 

 

[Dm] Bet you're wondering how I knew

About your [A7] plans to make me [G] blue

With some other [Dm] guy that you knew before

Between the two of us [A7] guys you know I [G] love you more.

It took me by [Bm] surprise I must [G] say,

When I [Dm] found out yester-[G]-day.

 

Ooh I [Dm] heard it through the grapevine

Not much [G] longer would you be mine.

Ooh I [Dm] heard it through the grapevine

And I'm [G] just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey [Dm] yeah.

 

You know that a [Dm] man ain't supposed to cry

But these [A7] tears I can't [G] hold inside

Losin' [Dm] you would end my life you see

Cause you [A7] mean that much to [G] me.

You could have [Bm] told me your-[G]-self

That you [Dm] found somebody [G] else

 

Instead I [Dm] heard it through the grapevine

Not much [G] longer would you be mine.

Ooh I [Dm] heard it through the grapevine

And I'm [G] just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey [Dm] yeah.

 

People say believe [Dm] half of what you see

Son, and [A7] none of what you [G] hear

I can't [Dm] help bein' confused

If it's [A7] true please tell me [G] dear

Do you [Bm] plan to let me [G] go

For the other [Dm] guy that you knew [G] before?

 

Ooh I [Dm] heard it through the grapevine

Not much [G] longer would you be mine.

Ooh I [Dm] heard it through the grapevine

And I'm [G] just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey [Dm] yeah.

 

 

Use barred chords throughout. Play the D minor on the 5th fret, and you'll be able to play the famous riff on the A string while holding that chord position.
