Chords for John Flanagan Trio live @ The Song Room Concert Series

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] trees are overflowing _ like an unspoken prayer
_ [Am] The dairy cow bells are ringing through the mountain
[F] _ As _ _ a weary traveler I am _ [Am] welcomed in _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] Treated like I'm kin
[Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ Biscuits by the fire, _ country hospitality _
I [Dm] say, is that your [G] boy out the window there?
That young man beneath the [F] tree
_ The woman shuts the curtains with _ [Dm] downcast _ eyes _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] As the man [G] replies
_ There's _ _ [F] _ a strange fruit _ hanging from that tree
[Dm] It's been poisoned [G] by the devil _
And it's cursed [F] this family _ _ _
_ Jesus Christ, gotta catch us [Dm] if we fall _ _ _ _
[Gm] One [Dm] strange fruit [C] could stain [Bb] us [F] all _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Down at St. _
Matthew's, the whole town's packing in
[Dm] _
Father says [Bb] to love the sinner, _ but [F] condemn the sin
_ The young man stays on after mass, he _ [Dm] kneels to pray
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] No one looks his [F] _ way _
They all read the Bible, [Bb] but he reads a different [F] part
They [Dm] got Jesus in [Bb] their egos, he's got Jesus in his [F] heart
_ _ _ He loves his neighbor as he bears [Dm] the _ weight
Of [Gm] _ _ _ [F] eyes and [Bb] words of hate
_ There's _ _
[F] _ a strange fruit [Bb] hanging [F] from that tree
It's [Dm] been poisoned [F] by the devil
And it's cursed this family
_ _ _ _ Jesus Christ, [Bb] gotta catch us [Dm] if we fall _ _
_ _ [Gm] One [Dm] strange fruit [C] could stain [Bb] us all
[F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I stayed in touch _ after I passed through
I [Dm] heard the young [G] man said out loud [F] what everybody knew _ _
I love another man, my heart [Dm] is _ true
He's _
[Gm] _ like [F] my love for [Bb] _
you
[F] _ _ _ _ _ His mom and pop _ pronounced him as their own
[Dm] They told him he [F] was going to hell
And their words hit him like stone
I wish I'd been there, I wish I'd [Dm] stayed on
_ And [Gm] _
tell [F] him they [Bb] were wrong
[F] _ _ _ _ There's a strange fruit hanging from that tree
[Dm] With its flesh as pale [Bb] as Jesus Christ upon Mount [F] Calvary
_ _ And all the sinners come to watch [Dm] it fall
_ _ _ [Gm] _ One [Dm] strange fruit [C] could [Bb] save them all _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
