Waiting for me when I die,

They never seem to hear even your cry

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 …
