[Chorus]

Into the oceans of hell, my friend

Into the oceans we ride

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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

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

Into the oceans we ride

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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