Bread And Roses

   A                              
As we go marching marching in the 
D             E
beauty of the day,
  A                           
A million darkened kitchens, a 
 B7                  E7
thousand mill lofts gray,
    A                            
Are touched with all the radiance 
        D             E7
that a sudden sun discloses,
        A              F#m    
For the people hear us singing: 
             D                E A
"Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"


[Verse 2]
   A                           
As we go marching, marching, we 
 D              E
battle too for men,
    A                              
For they are women's children, and 
   B7          E7
we mother them again.

    A                              
Our lives shall not be sweated from
 D                E7
 birth until life closes;
       A                 F#m   
Hearts starve as well as bodies; 
          D                 E A
give us bread but give us roses!


[Verse 3]
   A                        
As we go marching, marching, 
   D              E
unnumbered women dead
   A                               
Go crying through our singing their
 B7              E7
 ancient cry for bread.
      A                            
Small art and love and beauty their
 D                E7
 drudging spirits knew.
     A              F#m           
Yes, it is bread we fight for - 
     D                E A
but we fight for roses, too!


[Verse 4]
   A                           
As we go marching, marching, we 
 D                 E
bring the greater days.
    A                             
The rising of the women means the 
B7            E7
rising of the race.
   A                               
No more the drudge and idler - ten 
     D              E7
that toil where one reposes,
      A                 F#m       
But a sharing of life's glories - 
          D                E A
Bread and roses! Bread and roses!
