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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

Into the oceans we ride

Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
C
We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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