I Heard it Through the Grapevine-lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
[Ebm] I
[Bbm] [Ebm]
[Ebm] bet you're wondering how I knew
I'll [Bb] choke plans to [Ebm] make you bleed
Some other guy you knew before
Between [Bb] the two of us guys you know I [Ebm] love you [Gb] more
[Eb] It took me by surprise [Ab] I must say
[Eb] When I first met [Ab] you
[Eb] I [Ab] heard through [Eb] the grapevine
I [Ab] learned slower when you be mine
I heard [Eb] through the grapevine
[Ab] I learned just [Ebm] so well
So you be my friend
I know I'm mad [Bb] but these tears I can't [Ebm] hold [Db] inside
[Ebm] Losing you would end my life you see
[Bb] Cause you mean that [Ebm] much to me
[Cm] You could have told [Ab] me yourself
[Eb] That you loved [Ab] someone else
[Eb] Instead I heard through [Eb] the grapevine
[Ab] I learned slower when you be mine
I [Eb] heard [Eb] through the grapevine
[Ab] [Ebm] [Ebm] I learned just so well
[Ebm] People say many lies of what you see
[Gm] Son of none [Ebm] of what you hear
But I can't help being confused
[Bb] If it's true [Ebm] please tell me dear
[Cm] Do you [Eb] plan [Ab] to let me go
[Eb] For the other guy you [Ab] love
Oh don't [Eb] you know
I heard through the grapevine
I [Ab] learned slower when you be mine
[Eb] Baby I heard through the grapevine
[Ab] [Ebm] [Ebm] I learned just so well
That you're letting me go
And I heard through the grapevine
