Am - Bm4/A - C - F (X4)

Am - Bm4/A - C - F - F


Am          Em    Dm           F
   Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Am          Em             Dm           F
   Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Am              Em              Dm       F
   Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Am               Em               Dm     F
   Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.


Am - Bm4/A - G - F (X2)


Am          Em           Dm      F
   Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
Am             Em           Dm      F
   The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Am          Em         Dm        F
   Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Am          Em     F        G       A 
   Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.


A - F - F G - A - A - F - G


Am        G             Bm       F
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,
        Am      G               Bm      F
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
        Am     G            Bm    F  G     G
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,


Am           Bb          C   G  F
   Here is a strange and bitter crop.
Am           Bm4/A       Em  G  F
   Here is a strange and bitter crop.
Am           Bm4/A       G   F  A
   Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,
        Am      G               Bm      F
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
        Am     G            Bm    F  G     G
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,


Am           Bb          C   G  F
   Here is a strange and bitter crop.
Am           Bm4/A       Em  G  F
