Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [Ebm]
I bet you're wondering how I knew
All your [C] plans to make you do
Some [Ebm] other guy you knew before
Between the two [Bb] of us guys you [Ab] know I love you more
It took me [Cm] by surprise I [Ab] must say
When [Eb] I found out [Ab] yesterday
But you know that I had through the great [Eb] fire
To [Ab] be mine
Oh [Eb] I had through the great fire
I [Ab] was just about to lose my mind
I [Ebm] didn't plan to cry
But [Bb] these tears I can't hold inside
[Ebm] Losing you would end my life you see
Cause [Bb] you mean that much [Ab] to me
You [Cm] could have told me [Ab] yourself
That [Eb] you loved [Ab] someone else
Instead [Eb] I had through the great fire
[Ab] Not much longer would you be mine
Oh [Eb] the great fire
[Ab] And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey [Ebm] honey well
You are the best
People say many times of what you see
[Bb] Son of none of what you hear
But [Ebm] I can't help being confused
[Bb] If it's true please tell me dear
[Cm] Do you plan to [Ab] let me go
For [Eb] the other guy you [Ab] love
Oh don't you [Eb] know I had through the great fire
Not much [Ab] longer would you be mine
Baby [Eb] I had through the great fire
You [Ab] are just about to lose my mind
Honey [Ebm] honey well
Yeah yeah
Bet you let me go
Yeah yeah yeah
[B] And I had through the great fire
[E] [N]
