                            C7                                           F7

Don't ya know that I heard it through the grapevine

Boy take a good look at these tears of mine

Baby, baby these tears I can't hold inside

  C7 (2)

Losin' you would end my life you see

G7                                       F7

If it's true please baby, won't ya tell me dear
