--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard it through the grapevine - Marvin Gaye / Creedence Clearwater Revival --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: SpiketheFerret Tuning: Standard I play this mostly in the style of Marvin Gaye, but with a bit of Fogerty sneaking in for the solo. So, listen to Marvin's to pick up the main rhythm and chord changes. There is some odd timing, but it's not terribly hard to work out from listening to the recording. Check CCR's for the solo likeness. Lyrics for both at the bottom, Enjoy...
