F             E7     Am                    Em Am
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

[Verse 1]
[tab]Am                      C
I just need to clear my mind now

                           F
It's been racin' since the summertime

                                E7
Now I'm holdin' down the summer now

                                   Am
And all I want is what I can't buy now

                                  C
Cause I ain't got the money on me right now

                  F
And I told you to wait

                   E7
Yeah I told you to wait

                                 Am
So I'mma need a little more time now

                                        C
Cause I ain't got the money on me right now

                        F
And I thought you could wait

                          E7
Yeah, I thought you could wait

                          F
These bitches surroundin' me

E7                     Am
All want something out me

                     Em Am
Then they talk about me

                      F
Would be lost without me

                       E7
We could've been somebody

                                Am
Thought you'd be different 'bout it

                Em Am
Now I know you not it

So let's get on with it [Verse 2]

Am
We could've been somebody

C
'stead you had to tell somebody

F
Let's take it back to the first party

E7
When you tried your first molly

Am
And came out of your body

C
And came out of your body

F
Running naked down the lobby

E7
And you was screamin' that you love me

Am
Before the limelight tore ya

C
Before the limelight stole ya

F
Remember we were so young

E7
When I would hold you

Am                       C
Before the blood on the leaves

F                             E7
I know there ain't wrong with me

Something strange is happenin' [Verse 3] You could've been somebody We could've ugh, we could've been somebody Or was it on the first party When we tried our first molly And came out of our body And came out of our body Before they call lawyers Before you tried to destroy us How you gon' lie to the lawyer?
