Bread And Roses

Written by Mimi Fariņa/Jim Oppenheim

	  		
verse 1 
A                                               E 
As we go marching marching in the beauty of the day, 
A                              B7                  E7 
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray, 
A                        F#m              D         E7 
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses, 
        A                                  D                E A 
For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!" 


verse 2 
A                                              E 
As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men, 
A                                     B7          E7 
For they are women's children, and we mother them again. 
A                      F#m          D                E7 
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; 
       A                                 D                 E A 
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses! 


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


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