Dolly Parton – Malena (Guitar)

N.C.                    D
(A wish that Malena had wings)

  D        G           D          G
Malena for hours would run in the meadow

                                    D
Where Malena would go to play every day

    D            G               D          G
She chased butterflies and she'd say with a smile

                       A        D
If I had wings I could fly that way.

  D          G             D        G
Malena would cry when we'd try to explain

                                           D
That little girls weren't supposed to have wings

     D       G          D            G
That only in heaven can little girls fly

                           A        D
We'd see a strange look in Malena's eyes.

               C        D
(A wish that Malena had wings)

D  G       D        G
     We'll always remember Malena's last birthday

           D
Boxes with bright colored ribbon and string

D         G             D           G
  And the wish that she made as she blew out the candles

                 A       D
A wish that Malena had wings.

         D       G             D                 G
And with all the gifts that we bought for Malena

                                    D
The wish that she made we could not satisfy

D            G            D        G
  But on the night of her birthday   the angels fullfilled it

A               D
  They gave her wings and now Malena can fly.

  G        A           D
Malena has wings and Malena can fly

       G           A        D         A
On the wings of an angel in heaven on high

         G              A        D            G
From the time she could talk her wish was the same

  D           C        D
A wish that Malena had wings.

               C        D
