Am Am C C  F F  E7 E7 

[Am Am] Southern trees [E7 E7]bear a strange fruit [Am Am] [E7 E7]

[Am Am] Blood on the leaves [D7 D7] and blood [E7 E7]at the root [E7 E7]

[A A] Black bodies swingin' [Am Am] in the Southern breeze [E7 E7]

[F F] Strange fruit hangin' [E7 E7] from the poplar [Am Am] trees[D7 D7]


[A A] Pastoral scenes [E7 E7] of the gallant South [Am Am] [D7 D7]

[A A] The bulgin' eyes [E7 E7]and the twisted mouth [A7 A7]

[F F] Scent of magnolias [A7 A7] sweet and fresh [E7 E7]

[F F] Then the sudden [A7 A7] smell of burnin' flesh [E7 E7]

Am Am C C F F E7 E7

[Am Am] Here is a fruit [C C] for the crows to pluck [E7 E7]

[Am Am] For the rain to gather, [D7 D7]for the wind to suck [A7 A7]

[F F] For the sun to rot, [A7 A7]for the tree to drop [E7 E7]

Here is a strange and bitter [Am Am] crop [E7 E7]

Am Am C C F F E7 E7

[Am Am] Southern trees [E7 E7]bear a strange fruit [Am Am] [E7 E7]

[Am Am] Blood on the leaves [D7 D7] and blood [E7 E7]at the root [E7 E7]

[A A] Black bodies swingin' [Am Am] in the Southern breeze [E7 E7]

[F F] Strange fruit hangin' [E7 E7] from the poplar [Am Am] trees [Am Am] [D7 D7]

[A A] [Am Am]
