[Verse 1]
As we Fcome marching, marchBbing, in the C7beauty of the Fday,
A million darkend Bbkitchens, a Dmithousand Bbmill lofts gA7ray,
Are Dmitouched with all the Gmiradiance that a C7sudden sun disFcloses
For the Bbpeople hear us Fsinging, "Bread and Croses!  C7Bread and Froses!"
[Verse 2]
As we Fcome marching, marchBbing, we bC7attle too for Fmen.
Our brothers in the Bbstruggle, and Dmitogether Bbwe will wA7in.
Our Dmilives shall not be sGmiweated from birth C7until life Fcloses;
Hearts Bbstarve as well as Fbodies; give us Cbread, but gC7ive us Froses!
[Verse 3]
As we Fcome marching, marchBbing, unnC7umbered women Fdead
Go crying through our sBbinging their Dmiancient cBbry for bA7read.
Small Dmiart and love and Gmibeauty their dC7rudging spirits Fknew.
Yes, Bbit's bread we fFight for -- but we Cfight for C7roses, Ftoo!
[Verse 4]
As we Fcome marching, marchBbing, we C7bring the greater dFays.
For the rising of the Bbwomen raises Dmiup the Bbhuman rA7ace.
No mDmiore the drudge and iGmidler -- ten that C7toil where one repFoses,
But a Bbsharing of life's Fglories; Bread and Croses!  C7Bread and Froses!

[Verse 1]

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!"

As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men.

Our brothers in the struggle, and together we will win.

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

But a sharing of life's glories; Bread and roses! Bread and roses!
