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

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

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

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

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

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