F
D poor orphan girl named Maria
F
Was walking the market one day.
C
She stopped for to rest by the road side
C7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
F
D few moments passed till she saw it
F
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
C
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
C
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
A#
She happily gave her last peso
F
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
A#
She fed it loose corn from the market,
F
And watched it grow stronger with time.
F
Now the gift giving service was coming,
F
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
C
And all of the town folk brought presents,
C7
To lay by the manger that night.
F
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
F C
In packages fit for a king.
C
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
C7 F
Maria had nothing to bring.
A#
She waited till just before midnight,
F
So no one would see her go in.
A#
And crying she knelt by the manger,
F
For her gift was unworthy of him.
G
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
G D
"Maria what brings you to me?
D
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
D7 G
Then open the door let me see."
G
So she trembled and did as he asked her
G
And out of the cage the bird flew,
D
Soaring up into the rafters
D7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
C
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
G
The little bird started to sing
C
D song that no words could recapture,
G
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
G
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
G
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
D
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
D7
By the very first nightingale's song.
