[Verse 1]
B
We were writing
        B
this album
   Em
My manager called and said:
 Em
"we need a hit".
               E
He said: "your music's not
           B
current enough for the kids,
            E
so write a death metal song".
                B
 We said: "Heck yeah you got it!"
B                 B
So I got out my beach ball,
      Em
my Hawaiian shirt with little
    Em
coconuts on the sleeves
      E
and wrote this brutal jam
           B
while the tall palm trees
   E
began to sway gently in the
F#7             E
island breeze.

[Chorus 1]
                  B
Death metal, the metal of
 death.
        A
Better drink that margarita
         E                E
before your last breath.

The taste of Satan from our
 B
rock armada,
       A
An umbrella of evil in
       F#          E
 your piña colada.
              B
Death metal, put on
 your leis.
          A
Surfin' waves as your
                E
rotting mortal soul decays.
     E
Lay back in the sand and
        B
drift slowly away,
      E
and renounce your God's
                  F#            B
existence at the seafood buffet.

[Verse 2]
                      B
Our manager called us back
and said:
SPOKEN: "Hey guys, it's your
 manager Brent. This definitely
 isn't death metal.
It sounds more like Jimmy
Buffet"
    E
We laughed at the way he's
         B
 always joking around
             E
and then we tuned our
             B
ukuleles to get that
             B
dark sound.
We were in the metal
     B
festival that night
   Em
To play with some bands,
       Em
it as such a great list.
      E
Like Demigod Slut and
 B
Chasm of filth
     E
and Maggot Desecration
     B
And Graves of Piss.

[Steel drum solo]
B                B
SPOKEN: "Steel drum solo!
 Em           Em          E
Defile me with that sax! Easy on
               B              E  B
those coconut shrimp, Jerry!"

[Chorus 2]
E                B
Death metal, the metal
of death.
        A
Tanning lotion on Corpse,
            E
he needs a high SPF.
        E
Playing frisbee all day,
              B
you'll be running like a
cheetah.
F#
Sacrificing goats with a
            F#7   E
 sweet señorita.
              B
Death metal, choke on
 our scum
            A
Thanks for joining us today
             E
for all our tropical fun
          E
I have to say this vile
B
concert went well
    F#
Now suck this music tribute
       F#7
to our dark lord in hell!
(death metal noises)
SPOKEN: "What the heck was that?"

How to play Death Metal: key, chords and progression

Death Metal by Ninja Sex Party is built around B major (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯), with 6 chords in all: B, Em, E, F#7, A and F#.

The backbone of the song is B – Em – E – B (I – iv – IV – I in B major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes A, Dm, D, E7, G, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
