[Verse 1]
Em C
This tree bears strange fruit
G D/F#
There’s blood on the leaves, it’s dead at the roots
Em C
The cracked, grey branches are decaying within
G D/F#
Just like the black poison that hangs from it’s limbs
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D/F#
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Em C G
Rip the deadness out
D/F# G
And plant something new
[Chorus]
G Em C
I am alive, I will abide
Em G
In the life giving blood of Christ
G Em C
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Em G
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him
[Verse 2]
Em C
I tried to tie good fruit
G D/F#
To a tree that had poison all the way through
Em C
It rotted and fell off, it was dead to the core
G D/F#
It even killed the ground, I was worse than before
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D/F#
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Em C G
Rip the deadness out
D/F# G
And plant something new
[Chorus]
G Em C
I am alive, I will abide
Em G
In the life giving blood of Christ
G Em C
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Em G
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D/F#
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Em C D/F# G
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new
[Chorus]
G Em C
I am alive, I will abide
Em G
In the life giving blood of Christ
G Em C
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Em G
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him
