[Verse 1]
C G
As we go marching, marching in the beauty of the day,
C G F G
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,
C Am F G
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
C F G C
For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"
[Verse 2]
C G
As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men,
C G F G
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
C Am F G
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
C F G C
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses!
[Verse 3]
C G
As we go marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
C G F G
Go crying through our singing their ancient call for bread.
C Am F G
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.
C F G C
Yes, it is bread we fight for - but we fight for roses, too!
[Verse 4]
C G
As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days.
C G F G
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
C Am F G
No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes,
C F G C
But a sharing of life's glories, bread and roses, bread and roses.
