Verse 1
A poor orphan girl named Maria
Was walking to market one (A major) day
She stopped for a rest by the
roadside (E minor) (A major)
Where a bird with a broken wing (D major) lay
A few moments passed (G major) till she
(D major) saw it (B minor) (E minor)
(D major) For it's feathers were covered with (A major) sand
But soon clean and wrapped
it was traveling
In the warmth of Maria's small (D major) hand
Verse 2
She (G major) happily gave her last peso
On a (D major) cage made of (A major) rushes and twine (D major)
She (G major) fed it loose corn from the market
And (D major) watched it grow stronger with (A major) time
Verse 3
Now the (D major) Christmas Eve
service (G major) was (D major) coming
And the church shone with
tinsel an (A major) d light
And all of the townfolk brought presents
To lay by the manger that (D major) night
There were diamonds
and incense and perfumes
In packages fit for a (A major) king
But for one ragged bird in a small cage
Maria had nothing to (D major) bring
Verse 4
She (G major) waited till just before midnight
So (D major) no one could (A major) see her go (D major) in
And (G major) crying she knelt (E minor) by the (G major) manger
For her (D major) gift was unworthy of (A major) Him
Verse 5
Then a (D major) voice spoke to her
(G major) through the (D major) darkness
Maria, what brings you to (A major) me
If the bird in the cage is your offering
Open the door, let me (D major) see
Though she trembled,
she did as he asked her
And out of the cage the bird (A major) flew
Soaring into the rafters
On a wing that had healed good (D major) as new
Verse 6
(G major) Just then the midnight bells rang out
And the (D major) little bird (A major) started to (D major) sing
A (G major) song that no words could recapture
Whose (D major) beauty was fit (G major) for (D major) a (A major) king
Verse 7
Now Maria (D major) felt blessed
just to listen (E minor)
(D major) To that cascade of notes
sweet an (A major) d long
As her offering was lifted to heaven
By the very first nightin (D major) (A major) gale's song
