D
As we go marching, marching, in the beauty of the day
D
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts grey
G
Are touched with all the radiance that sudden sun discloses
D G D A7 D
For the people hear us singing, Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses.
G
As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men
G
For they are women's children and we mother them again
G
Our lives shall not be sweetened from birth until life closes
D G D A7 D
Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us Bread, but give us Roses.
G
As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days
G
For the rising of the women, means the rising of the race
G
No more the drudge and idler ten that toil where one reposes
D G D A7 D
But the sharing of life's glories, Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses.
G D G D A7 D
But the sharing of life's glories, Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses.
