         G

They tell me of a pie up in the sky,

F

Waiting for me when I die,

       G

But between the day your born and when you die,

         F

They never seem to hear even your cry

             Em

But as sure as the sun will shine

            Am

Gonna get my share of what's mine,

                       G                                     F

And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall,

               C

One and all.

        G                                    F

The harder they come, the harder they'll fall,

                C

One and all.

Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down,

Tryin' to drive me under ground.

They think that they have got the battle won,

I say forgive them lord they know not what they done.

INTRO…

But I'll keep on fightin' for the things I want

Though I know that when your dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Then livin' as a puppet or a slave

            Ebm                                                                                    Bb                                 Ab

Ooh I bet you're wonderin' how I  knew 'Bout your plans to make me blue

                                   Ebm                                                                             Bb                                                    Ab

With some other guy you knew before. Between two of us guys you know I loved you more

                             Cm                         Ab                   Ebm                           Ab

It took me by surprise I must say When I found out yesterday

                                             Ebm                                   Ebm4    Ebm                        Ab

Don't you know that I heard it through the grape - vine Not much longer would you be mine

           Ebm                                  Ebm4       Ebm                 Ab

Oh, I heard it through the grape - vine Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind Honey honey yeh

   Ebm                                                                                                                

I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby

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 …

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 …
