Malibu — Hole
Chords and lyrics for Malibu by Hole (key of Em).
Verse 1
I do not own this song or any of the lyrics. I simply Love the band.
I noticed a few album versions of the song but not the unplugged
(Live) version which has a additional ending as well as add-in lyrics
and different chords in places. This is the unplugged version with
the additional ending esc. I also find this version graceful with nice
backing vocals and a bass back-up, but because we are not all in
bands it sounds perfect solo.

This song gains in places and you really have to give
it a listen a few times to get the rhythm and vocals
down good. Courtney has a way of pronouncing things
while she is singing, its a groove you have to get into
with practice. Awesome Song though, its worth it. Fun
understand forgive me its my first try at this.
