A#
G poor orphan girl named Maria
A#
Was walking the market one day.
F
She stopped for to rest by the road side
F7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
A#
G few moments passed till she saw it
A#
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.
D#
She happily gave her last peso
A#
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
D#
She fed it loose corn from the market,
A#
And watched it grow stronger with time.
A#
Now the gift giving service was coming,
A#
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
F
And all of the town folk brought presents,
F7
To lay by the manger that night.
A#
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
A# F
In packages fit for a king.
F
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
F7 A#
Maria had nothing to bring.
D#
She waited till just before midnight,
A#
So no one would see her go in.
D#
And crying she knelt by the manger,
A#
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,
G7 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
G7
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,
G7
By the very first nightingale's song.
