[Chorus]
Em C
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
G D
Into the oceans we ride
A Em
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
E
We're sailing the seas 'til we die
[Instrumental]

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

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die
C
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
G D
Into the oceans we ride
A Em
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
Em
We're sailing the seas 'til we die
C E
We're sailing the seas 'til we die
[Instrumental]

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