Bread And Roses

F Bb C7 F As we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the day, Bb Dmi Bb A7 A million darkend kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray, Dmi Gmi C7 F Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses Bb F C C7 F For the people hear us singing, "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!" F Bb C7 F As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men. Bb Dmi Bb A7 Our brothers in the struggle, and together we will win. Dmi Gmi C7 F Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; Bb F C C7 F Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses! F Bb C7 F As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead Bb Dmi Bb A7 Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread. Dmi Gmi C7 F Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew. Bb F C C7 F Yes, it's bread we fight for -- but we fight for roses, too! F Bb C7 F As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days. Bb Dmi Bb A7 For the rising of the women raises up the human race. Dmi Gmi C7 F No more the drudge and idler -- ten that toil where one reposes, Bb F C C7 F But a sharing of life's glories; Bread and roses! Bread and roses!
