Dm 
 
Verse 
Dm 
Under the sea, there's a colony of bees 
      F         Bb            G         A 
And a man named Fred who will shoot you dead 
       Dm 
If you try to steal from his apiary sealed 
     F     Bb            G       A 
With magic spells at the gate to hell 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Bb                        Dm 
   He'll kill you in your sleep 
Bb                   A 
   If you so much as take a single peek 
 
 
Dm   F     G         Dm 
 Set sail across the waves 
Dm             F       G 
 Where we will stop no man can say 
    Dm      F          G       Dm 
The alcohol stores are running low 
   F                  A 
So into the deep blue yonder go 
 
Dm   F     G         Dm 
 Set sail across the waves 
Dm             F       G 
 Where we will stop no man can say 
      Dm      F        G             Dm 
We'll end our quest by following the smell 
     F        A      Dm   A    Dm 
That leads us to the Mead from Hell

Verse 
   Dm 
He brews his mead with psychotropic weeds 
        F       Bb     G                 A 
That'll get you high, assuming you don't die 
        Dm 
And you probably find that it makes you go blind 
         F         Bb          G           A 
From the alcoholic proof (it's through the roof) 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Bb                       Dm 
   We seek the mead from hell 
Bb                            A 
 The endless search for the infernal hydromel 
 
 
Dm   F     G         Dm 
 Set sail across the waves 
Dm             F       G 
 Where we will stop no man can say 
    Dm      F          G       Dm 
The alcohol stores are running low 
   F                  A 
So into the deep blue yonder go 
 
Dm   F     G         Dm 
 Set sail across the waves 
Dm             F       G 
 Where we will stop no man can say 
      Dm      F        G             Dm 
We'll end our quest by following the smell 
     F        A      Dm   A    Dm 
That leads us to the Mead from Hell

Bb C       G           Dm 
     The infernal hydromel 
Bb C     G               Dm 
     The booze is in our grasp 
Bb C          G                 Dm

 Where we will stop no man can say 
      Dm      F        G             Dm 
We'll end our quest by following the smell 
     F        A      Dm   A    Dm 
That leads us to the Mead from Hell
