G#
F poor orphan girl named Maria
G#
Was walking the market one day.
D#
She stopped for to rest by the road side
D#7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
G#
F few moments passed till she saw it
G#
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
D#
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
D#
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
C#
She happily gave her last peso
G#
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
C#
She fed it loose corn from the market,
G#
And watched it grow stronger with time.
G#
Now the gift giving service was coming,
G#
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
D#
And all of the town folk brought presents,
D#7
To lay by the manger that night.
G#
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
G# D#
In packages fit for a king.
D#
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
D#7 G#
Maria had nothing to bring.
C#
She waited till just before midnight,
G#
So no one would see her go in.
C#
And crying she knelt by the manger,
G#
For her gift was unworthy of him.
A#
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
A# F
"Maria what brings you to me?
F
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
F7 A#
Then open the door let me see."
A#
So she trembled and did as he asked her
A#
And out of the cage the bird flew,
F
Soaring up into the rafters
F7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
D#
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
A#
The little bird started to sing
D#
F song that no words could recapture,
A#
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
A#
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
A#
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
F
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
F7
By the very first nightingale's song.
