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.

                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

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.

Not much longer would you be    my baby).
