Malena chords by Dolly Parton

Key: D

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



🎸 Verse 1:
 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.

🎸 Verse 2:
 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.


🎸 Interlude:
        C    D
(A wish that Malena had wings)


🎸 Verse 3:
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.


🎸 Verse 4:
     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.


🎸 Chorus:
 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.


🎸 Interlude:
        C    D
