Version 1 Version 2
            [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
