Strange Fruit Tab por Billie Holiday

Am         Em7   Am  A9  Am     E7
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Am               Em7           Am  A9  Am   E7
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root 
Dm6           Fdim7                                E7
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Am                  Em7                 Asus  A9  Am
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

 Am  G  E7  Am  Em7  Am 

Am          Em7          Am A9  Am    E7
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
    Am         Em7                Fdim7        E7
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth;
Am              Em7 Dm6 Em7   A9   Am   E7
Smell of mag - nolia, sweet And fresh,        
           Fdim7  Dm6         Fdim7        E7
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Am                F                Dm   Dm7  E7
Here is the fruit for the crows to pluck,
           Am        E7                   Gdim7 F   E7
For the rain to gather, for the wind   to suck,
Gm6        A         Amaj7        Gdim7 Fdim7 E7  
For   the sun to rot, for the    tree  to    drop,
Am   A9 Am  E7   Dm6 Gm6   E7    Am
Here  is  a strange and    bitter  crop.
