Strange Fruit chords by Billie Holiday

verse 1
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Fm              Dm7(5b)  G7(9b)
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

verse 2
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Fm              Dm7(5b)  G7(9b)
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

verse 3
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
Fm              Dm7(5b)  G7(9b)
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Cm          Ab7   G7(9b)
Here is a strange and bitter crop
