B
G# poor orphan girl named Maria
B
Was walking the market one day.
F#
She stopped for to rest by the road side
F#7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
B
G# few moments passed till she saw it
B
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
F#
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
F#
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
E
She happily gave her last peso
B
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
E
She fed it loose corn from the market,
B
And watched it grow stronger with time.
B
Now the gift giving service was coming,
B
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
F#
And all of the town folk brought presents,
F#7
To lay by the manger that night.
B
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
B F#
In packages fit for a king.
F#
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
F#7 B
Maria had nothing to bring.
E
She waited till just before midnight,
B
So no one would see her go in.
E
And crying she knelt by the manger,
B
For her gift was unworthy of him.
C#
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
C# G#
"Maria what brings you to me?
G#
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
G#7 C#
Then open the door let me see."
C#
So she trembled and did as he asked her
C#
And out of the cage the bird flew,
G#
Soaring up into the rafters
G#7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
F#
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
C#
The little bird started to sing
F#
G# song that no words could recapture,
C#
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
C#
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
C#
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
G#
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
G#7
By the very first nightingale's song.
