Intro:
[Am] [C] [Em] [F] [G] [F] [E]
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
[Dm7/A] [F] [F/E] [F] [F7] [E]
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
[F] [E] [Am] [Asus2] [Am/E]
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
The bulgin' eyes and the twisted mouth
[Dm7/A] [F] [F/E] [F7] [E]
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
[F] [E] [Am] [Asus2] [Am/E]
Then the sudden smell of burnin' flesh
[Am] [C] [Em] [F] [G] [F] [E]
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
[Dm7/A] [Dm7/E] [F] [F7] [E]
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
[F] [E] [Am] [Asus2] [Am/E]
Here is a strange and bitter crop
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
[Am] [Am/C] [Dm7] [E] [E7]
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
[Dm7/A] [Dm7/Eb] [Dm7/E] [F] [F/E] [F7] [E]
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
[F] [E] [Am] [Asus2] [Am/E]
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
