[Verse 1]
Cm Ab7 G7b9 Southern trees bear a strange fruit Cm Ab7 G7b9 Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Fm Dm7b5 G7b9 Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Cm Ab7 G7b9 Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
[Verse 2]
Cm Ab7 G7b9 Pastoral scene of the gallant south Cm Ab7 G7b9 The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Fm Dm7b5 G7b9 Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Cm Ab7 G7b9 Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
[Verse 3]
Cm Ab7 G7b9 Here is fruit for the crows to pluck Cm Ab7 G7b9 For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck Fm Dm7b5 G7b9 For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Cm Ab7 G7b9 Here is a strange and bitter crop
