E
C# poor orphan girl named Maria
E
Was walking the market one day.
B
She stopped for to rest by the road side
B7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
E
C# few moments passed till she saw it
E
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
B
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
B
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
A
She happily gave her last peso
E
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
A
She fed it loose corn from the market,
E
And watched it grow stronger with time.
E
Now the gift giving service was coming,
E
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
B
And all of the town folk brought presents,
B7
To lay by the manger that night.
E
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
E B
In packages fit for a king.
B
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
B7 E
Maria had nothing to bring.
A
She waited till just before midnight,
E
So no one would see her go in.
A
And crying she knelt by the manger,
E
For her gift was unworthy of him.
F#
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
F# C#
"Maria what brings you to me?
C#
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
C#7 F#
Then open the door let me see."
F#
So she trembled and did as he asked her
F#
And out of the cage the bird flew,
C#
Soaring up into the rafters
C#7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
B
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
F#
The little bird started to sing
B
C# song that no words could recapture,
F#
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
F#
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
F#
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
C#
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
C#7
By the very first nightingale's song.
