[F] [Bbm]
[Bbm] [F]
[Bbm] Southern trees [Bb] bear strange [F] fruit, [Fm] blood on the leaves [Gm] and blood at [Gb] the [F] root.
[Ebm]
Black bodies swinging in the southern [Db] breeze,
[Fm] [Ab] strange fruit [G] hanging [Bbm] from [Ebm] the poplar [Bbm] trees.
[F] [Bbm]
Pastoral [F] scene of [Bbm] the gallant [F] south,
[Db] the [Fm] bulging eyes [G] and the [C] twisted [F] mouth,
[Bbm] scent of [B] magnolia, [Fm] sweet and [Ebm] fresh.
[Db] Then the sudden [Bbm] smell [C] of burning [F] flesh.
Here is [Bbm] a fruit for [Gb] the crows to [F] pluck,
[F] for [Ebm] the rain to gather, for the wind [A] to suck,
for [Db] the sun to ride, for [Fm] the tree
[Bm] to [Bb] drop.
Here [Bbm]
is a strange [Gb] and bitter [F] crop.
[Bb] [Bbm]
[G] [N]
