Into the oceans of hell, my friend

Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

[Verse 1]
Fm G#
Well I was just a boy of 12 when I first left the land
C# Fm
I'd never seen a pump before nor held one in my hand
A#m Fm
But fate it had in store for me a different destiny
C# Cm Fm
When I joined the crew of the leakiest ship that ever sailed the seas
[Instrumental]
G# F Fm A#m Fm F
[Verse 2]
Fm G#
We were a crew of scurvy dogs but sure we loved to pump
C# G#m
Even though the ship we sailed was just a ragged dump
A# G#m
Every day we pumped together standing side by side
A# C
The water kept on creeping in, I thought that we might die
[Chorus]
F C#
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
G# D#
Into the oceans we ride
A# Fm
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
F
We're sailing the seas 'til we die
C#
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
G# D#
Into the oceans we ride
A# Fm
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
F
We're sailing the seas 'til we die

[Verse 3]
Fm G#
Twas in the gulf of Mexico we sailed a crimson tide
C# G#m
And all the other pirates began to run and hide
A# Fm
"This is a devil's omen, we cannot pump these seas"
C# Cm Fm
I found myself alone on deck, so the task it fells to me
[Instrumental]
G# C# Fm A#m G#m G#
[Verse 4]
Fm G#
The pumpy quest ahead of me was ominous and grim
C# Fm
Our ship was sinking rapidly, the red tide flowing in
B Fm
I battened down the hatches, prepared to do what's right
A#m C
I screamed a mighty battle cry and pumped all through the night
[Chorus]
F C#
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
G# D#
Into the oceans we ride
A# F
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
F
We're sailing the seas 'til we die
F C#
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
G# D#
Into the oceans we ride
A# Fm
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
A#
We're sailing the seas 'til we die

[Outro]
Fm G# C#
Then daylight came, and all was calm, the ship she did not sink
Fm A#m Fm F Fm
And all the crew did celebrate their rescue from the brink
G# C# Fm
But when they spied where I did lay, the mood it fell bereft
A#m Fm C# C Fm
For by the time the sun arose, I'd pumped myself to death
