Ooh I bet you're wonderin' how I  knew
                          
'Bout your plans to make me blue
                      
With some other guy you knew before
                                          
Between two of us guys you know I loved you more

                            
It took me by surprise I must say
                    
When I found out yesterday
                                        Ebmsus4 
Don't you know that I heard it through the grape - vine
         
Not much longer would you be mine
                        Ebmsus4 
Oh, I heard it through the grape - vine
        
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeh
                     Ebmsus4                          
(I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be
 
 my baby)

   Ebmsus4 

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
Cos you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)

     (x3)

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true please tell me dear.

Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeh
(I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)
