released on Bronwen's YouTube channel. 
[Verse 1]
As Cwe go marching, marching in the beauty of the dGay,
A mCillion darkened kitchens, a thoGusand mFill lofts gGray,
Are tCouched with all the raAmdiance that a sFudden sun diGscloses,
For the pCeople hear us singing: "Bread and rFoses! Bread and rGoseCs!"
[Verse 2]
As Cwe go marching, marching, we battle too for mGen,
For tChey are women's children, and we Gmother tFhem agGain.
Our lCives shall not be sAmweated from Fbirth until life clGoses;
Hearts stCarve as well as bodies; give us bFread but give us rGoseCs!
[Verse 3]
As Cwe go marching, marching, unnumbered women dGead
Go cCrying through our singing their aGncient cFall for bGread.
Small Cart and love and bAmeauty their drFudging spirits knGew.
Yes, Cit is bread we fight for - but we fiFght for roGses, tCoo!
[Verse 4]
As Cwe go marching, marching, we bring the greatGer days.
The Crising of the women means the Grising oFf the racGe.
No morCe the drudge and iAmdler, ten that Ftoil where one rGeposes,
But a Csharing of life's glories, bread anFd roses, bGread aCnd roses.

[Verse 1]

C G

As we go marching, marching in the beauty of the day,

C G F G

A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,

C Am F G

Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,

C F G C

For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"

[Verse 2]

C G

As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men,

C G F G

For they are women's children, and we mother them again.

C Am F G

Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;

C F G C

Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses!

[Verse 3]

C G

As we go marching, marching, unnumbered women dead

C G F G

Go crying through our singing their ancient call for bread.

C Am F G

Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.

C F G C

Yes, it is bread we fight for - but we fight for roses, too!

[Verse 4]

C G

As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days.

C G F G

The rising of the women means the rising of the race.

C Am F G

No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes,

C F G C

But a sharing of life's glories, bread and roses, bread and roses.
