Strange Fruit

Bm             Bm/A  G
Southern trees
             F#7
Bear strange fruit
Bm              Bm/A   G
   Blood on the leaves
G                  F#7
  And blood at the roots
Em
   Black bodies
                         Bm     Bm/A
Swinging in the southern breeze
G                  F#7
  Strange fruit hangin'
                 Bm    Em/B  Bm
From the popular trees

Bm/A          G
     Pastoral scene
       F#7
Of the gallant south
Em
   Them big bulging eyes

And the twisted mouth

Scent of magnolia
C#m7(5-)  F#7
Clean and fresh
C#m7(5-)
Then the sudden smell
           F#7
Of burnin' flesh
Bm           Bm/A
   Here is a fruit
G                      F#7
  For the crows to pluck
Em                 C#m7(5-)
   For the rain to gather
        Bm           Bm/A
For the wind to suck
         Abm7(5-)  G
For the sun to rot
        F#7 Em
For the leaves to drop

Here is
  G          F#7   Bm
Strange and bitter crop
