CCR - I Heard It Through The Grapevine chords
Start Jamming...
Ooh, I bet you wonder how I do
Without [A] your plans [G] to make me do
With some [D] other guy that you knew before
You know those [A] guys you know I love [G] you more
To me, my [B] survivor [G] says
When I [D] found out [G] yesterday
Ooh, I [D] paid it to the great guy
Not [G] much longer would you be mine
Ooh, [D] I paid it to the great guy
And [G] I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, [D] yeah
You know I'm not supposed to cry
But [A] these tears I can't [G] hold inside
[D] Cruising through my life you see
But [A] you mean that [G] much to me
You [B] would have told [G] me yourself
That [D] you found [G] someone else
You said [D] I paid it to the great guy
Not [G] much longer would you be mine
[D] Ooh, I paid it to the great guy
And [G] I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, [D] yeah
People say you hide from what you see
Na, [E] na, na, from what [G] you hear
I can't [D] help but feel confused
If [A] it's true, won't you tell [G] me here
Do [D] you [B] ever let [G] your ego
[C] [Dm] Harder than the guy that you [G] knew before
Ooh, [D] I paid it to the great guy
Not much [G] longer would you be mine
[D] Ooh, I paid it to the great guy
[Dm] And I'm [G] just about to lose my mind
[D] Honey, honey, yeah
