--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Heard It Through the Grapevine --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : Robert Sizemore e-mail: rks8207@uncw.edu Artists: Creedence Clearwater Revival Album: Chronicle/Cosmo's Factory Song: I Heard It Through the Grapevine Tuning: Drop-D - DADGBD I decided to do a more explicit tab of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". The song can divided into 3 parts which I'll call intro, verse, and chorus. The intro is played as a between the chorus/verse and as a bridge between the chorus/solo.
