Am C  F  E7 

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

Am C  F E7

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

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

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

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