Into the oceans we ride

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

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

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