Bread And Roses chords by Judy Collins

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
A augmentedA                        E MajorE
As we go marching marching in the beauty of the day,
A augmentedA               B7B7         E7E7
A augmentedA million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,
A augmentedA            F# minorF#m       D MajorD     E7E7
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
    A augmentedA                 D MajorD        E MajorE A augmentedA
For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"


Verse 2:
A augmentedA                       E MajorE
As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men,
A augmentedA                   B7B7     E7E7
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
A augmentedA           F# minorF#m     D MajorD        E7E7
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
    A augmentedA                 D MajorD         E MajorE A augmentedA
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses!


Verse 3:
A augmentedA                       E MajorE
As we go marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
A augmentedA                  B7B7       E7E7
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread.
A augmentedA           F# minorF#m     D MajorD        E7E7
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.
   A augmentedA                 D MajorD     E MajorE   A augmentedA
Yes, it is bread we fight for - but we fight for roses, too!


Verse 4:
A augmentedA                         E MajorE
As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days.
A augmentedA                 B7B7      E7E7
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
A augmentedA           F# minorF#m       D MajorD       E7E7
No more the drudge and idler - ten that toil where one reposes,
   A augmentedA                   D MajorD        E MajorE A augmentedA
