Intro: G C Em C Am

Verse 1:
     G                 C  Em
If a man can't see his shadow
       C                  Am
He can block your sun all day
G
He can make you small
                     F  A           D7
He has the power to take his love away
G                C    Em
Six hours on the grapevine
    C                     Am
And I feel kidnapped this time
      G
Cause my baby thinks
   G
He always believes
     C            Am
That he's, always right
D7
But I still think of him at night

Pre-chorus:
D        A
Ooh, you know I would
C
Go back to the camp
          Em
With the kerosene lamps in the woods
D    A
Ooh, when you were mine
    C
And I was yours for a time

Chorus:
       G    C Em    C    Am
On the grapevine
       G    C Em    A    C
On the grapevine

Verse 2:
G               C Em
California's my body
                   C     Am
And your fire runs over me
G
My car broke down
      G7                    F
In an old ghost town right around
           A         D7
Where they got James Dean
 G        C  Em
Emotional Cowboy
     C             Am
With no hat and no boots
   G             C  Em
He stayed up all night
C                     A
Trying to beat up the moon

Pre-chorus:
D        A
Ooh, you know I would
C
Go back to the camp
          Em
With the kerosene lamps in the woods
D    A
Ooh, when you were mine
    C
And I was yours for a time

Chorus:
       G    C Em    C    Am
On the grapevine
       G    C Em    A    C
On the grapevine

Verse 3:
G                         C        Em
Don't know when I'm gonna see you, boy
              C               Am
Oh, I've been waiting for the time
     G
When I see the light
G                  C                Am
Shining across the freeway late at night
D9
Start to drift over the line
       G                     Em
And it hits me for the first time
B7
Now we're just two cars passing by

Chorus:
       D7   G   C Em    C    Am
On the grapevine
       G    C Em    C    Am
On the grapevine
       G    C Em    A    C    G
On the grapevine
