Bm Bm          Em Em
Southern trees
Em Em F# F#
Bear strange fruit
Bm Bm D D
Blood on the leaves
Em Em F# F#
And blood at the roots
Em Em
Black bodies
Em7 Em7 Bm Bm D D
Swinging in the southern breeze


G G F# F#
Strange fruit hangin'
Bm Bm Em Em Bm Bm
From the poplar trees
D D
Pastoral scene
A A F# F#
Of the gallant south
Em Em G G
Them big bulging eyes
A A Em Em G G Em7 Em7 F# F#
And the twisted mouth


C#m C#m
Scent of magnolia
F# F#
Clean and fresh
Em Em
Then the sudden smell
F# F#
Of burnin' flesh


Bm Bm D D
Here is a fruit
G G F# F#
For the crows to pluck
Em Em Em7 Em7
For the rain to gather
Bm Bm D D
For the wind to suck
G G G#m G#m G G
For the sun to rot
F#m F#m F# F# Em Em
For the leaves to drop
A A
Here is
G G F# F# Bm Bm Em Em A A Bm Bm
Strange and bitter crop
