[Verse 1]
   G               C
As we go marching, marching

       Am            D
In the beauty of the day

  G                C
A million darkened kitchens

  Am                  D
A thousand mill lofts grey

    G                    C
Are touched with all the radiance

       Am         D
That a sudden sun discloses

        G              C
For the people hear us singing

          Am               D     G
Bread and roses, bread and roses
[Verse 2]
   G               C
As we go marching, marching

   Am             D
We battle too for men

    G                C
For they are women's children

       Am          D
And we mother them again

    G                  C
Our lives shall not be sweated

     Am               D
From birth until life closes

       G                 C
Hearts starve as well as bodies

        Am                 D     G
Give us bread, but give us roses
[Verse 3]
   G               C
As we go marching, marching

  Am             D
Unnumbered women dead

   G                  C
Go crying through our singing

      Am               D
Their ancient call for bread

      G                  C
Small art, and love, and beauty

      Am               D
Their drudging spirits knew

     G              C
Yes, it is bread we fight for

       Am        D     G
But we fight for roses too
[Verse 4]
   G               C
As we go marching, marching

   Am                D
We bring the greater days

    G             C
The rising of the women

          Am            D
Means the rising of the race

   G                   C
No more the drudge and idler

         Am               D
Ten that toil where one reposes

        G                 C
But the sharing of life's glories

          Am               D     G
Bread and roses, bread and roses

          Am               D
Bread and roses, bread and roses
[Coda]
    G                  C
Our lives shall not be sweated

     Am               D
From birth until life closes

       G                 C
Hearts starve as well as bodies

          Am               D     G
Bread and roses, bread and roses
