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