I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE

Intro:

D#m  D#sus4, D#m  D#sus4  D#m (x5)

Verse 1:

       D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
           A#                G#
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
                D#m      D#sus4   D#m
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
                  A#                G#
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.

Bridge 1:

G#                  Cm            G#
 It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
       D#m               G#
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that:

Chorus 1:

  D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A#                         G#
Not much longer, would you be mine.
      D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
        A#                     G#                   D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Break:

   D#m
(I heard it through the grapevine,
                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

Verse 2:

         D#m            D#sus4    D#m
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
          A#                      G#
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
       D#m                D#sus4     D#m
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
         A#                 G#
'Cos you mean that much to me.

Bridge 2:

G#               Cm           G#
 You could have told me your-self,
         D#m            G#
That you loved someone else.

Chorus 2:

           D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         G#
Not much longer would you be mine.
      D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
        A#                     G#                   D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Break:

   D#m
(I heard it through the grapevine,
                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

Interlude:

D#m  D#sus4, D#m  D#sus4  D#m (x5)

Verse 3:

D#m
 People say; believe half of what you see,
         A#                G#
Son, and none of what you hear.
            D#m
But I can't help, but be con-fused,
        A#                     G#
If it's true, please tell me, dear.

Bridge 3:

       Cm             G#
Do you plan to let me go,
              D#m               G# 
For the other guy you loved be-fore?

Chorus 3:

  D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A#                         G#
Not much longer, would you be mine.
      D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
        A#                     G#                   D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Break:

   D#m
(I heard it through the grapevine,
                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

Mercy Mercy Me
			   
Verse 1:
	Emaj7 Emaj7
	Ah, mercy, mercy me,
	C#m7     C#m7                             F#m7
	Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
                  F#m7
	Where did all the blue skies go?
	Amaj7                        Amaj7
	Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east.

Verse 2:
	Mercy, mercy me,
	Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
	Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
	our seas fish full of mercury,

Verse 3:
	Oh, mercy, mercy me.
	Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.
	Radiation underground and in the sky;
	animals and birds who live near by are dying.

Verse 4:
	Oh, mercy, mercy me.
	Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
	What about this over crowded land?
	How much more abuse from man can she stand?

GOT TO GIVE IT UP 
 MARVIN GAYE


A
                    A
I used to go out to parties

And stand around

'Cause I was too nervous

To really get down
       D   E           A            B
And my body yearned to be free
                   D                E
So I got up on the floor and found
                  A                 B
Somebody to choose me
        A
No more standin' along the side walls

Now I've got myself together, baby

And I'm havin' a ball
            D                       E
Long as you prove it
                 A                  B
There's always a chance
         D                          E
Somebody watches
                 A                  B
I'm gonna make romance
          A
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night

Get down and prove it, feel all right...


        A
Keep on dancin'

Got to give it up

Got To Give It Up

F#m B F#m  B  E



  E               E6            

I know I stand in line until you

E                   E6             F#m                     B  F#m  B

think you have the time to spend an evening with me

    F#m          B               F#m                B

And if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance

             E                E6  E  E6

you won't be leaving with me

    E7             E9         E7            E9

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

           A           C

And have a drink or two



    F#m           B              F#m             B   

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid 

       E        E6  E  E6

like I love you



      E7             E9                      E7                    E9

I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lines 

              A        

you heard the night before

    F#                 C#m7            F#

And though it's just a line to you for me it's true

                    B

and never seemed so right before

  E             E6              E              E6

I practice everyday to find some clever lines to say 

            F#m               B  F#m  B

to make the meaning come true

    F#m               B             F#m         B

But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late

        E              E6  E  E6

And I'm alone with you

    E7                  E9              E                 E9

The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red 

           A             C

and on the nights so blue


    F#m           B              F#m             B

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid

Chorus 1:

        A#      C7          D#m   A#
(You're all, I need to get by).

        A#
(You're all,
         Like the sweet morning dew,
   C7
(I need,
    I took one look at you,
       D#m
To get by...)
        And it was plain to see,
A#
 You were my destiny.

        A#
(You're all,
         With my arms open wide,
   C7
(I need,
    I threw away my pride,
       D#m
To get by...)
        I'll sacrifice for you,
A#
 Dedicate my life for you.

Verse 1:

A#                                          D#
 I will go where you lead, always there in time of need.
C7                       D#m
 And when I lose my will, you'll be there to push me up the hill.

        A#              D#
There's no, no looking back for us,
A#                  C7              D#m
 We got love sure 'nough, that's e-nough.
       A#                 D#m          A#
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

Chorus 2:

        A#      C7          D#m  A#
(You're all, I need to get by).

(You're all,
         Like an eagle protects his nest,
   C7
(I need,
    For you, I'll do my best.
       D#m
To get by...)
        Stand by you like a tree,
    A#
And dare anybody to try and move me.

        A#
(You're all,
         Darling in you I found,
   C7
(I need,
    Strength where I was torn down.
       D#m
To get by...)
        Don't know what's in store,
    A#
But together we can open any door.

Verse 2:

A#                                            D#
 Just to do what's good for you, and inspire you a little higher.
  A#                        C7                        D#m
I know you can make a man, out of a soul that didn't have a goal.

     A#              D#m
'Cos we, we got the right foundation,
A#                     C7    D#m             A#
 And with love and de-termi-nation, you're all, you're all I:

D#                  D#m
 Won't stop honey, do a little more y'all,
A#                   D#             D#m
 All, all the joys, under the sun; you are the one.

Bridge 1:

       A#                 D#m
You're all, you're all I need...
       A#                 D#m
You're all, you're all I need...
       A#                 D#m          A#
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D

I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know

Somehow we end up on the same side

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)

        F                      Am                   Dm     C
In your ruin, Like the rest of ruin, the rest of us ruin

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A    Bm7 A       Bm7 A       G                      G   
Don't be fallin', fallin' in, fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
