Strange Fruit chords by Nnenna Freelon

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: Am G/B E7 Am Em7 Am Am G/B E7 Am Em7 Am

Am       Em7   Am  A9  Am     E7
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Am            Em7        Am  A9  Am   E7
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Bm5-/7                E7/9-             Fdim        E7
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Am            Em7             Asus4  A9  Am
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Interlúde: Am  G/B E7  Am Em7 Am

Am       Em7          Am A9  Am    E7
Pastoral scene of the gallant    south
    Am      Em7          Fdim     E7
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Am             Em7 Bm5-/7 Em7   A9   Am E7
Smell of magnolia,          sweet and fresh
        E7/9-  Bm5-/7       Fdim     E7
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Am          Am7+          Dm   Dm7  E7
Here is the fruit for the crows to pluck
        Am       E7             Gdim F   E7
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
Em5-/7    A      A7M          Gdim Fdim E7
For   the sun to rot, for the tree  to drop
Am   A9 Am  E7   Bm5-/7 Em5-/7  E7 Am
Here is a strange  and    bitter     crop
