Album: You're Welcome (2017)
[Chorus]
A#m F#
Into the oceans of hell, my friend
C# G#
Into the oceans we ride
D# A#m
Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land
A#
We're sailing the seas 'til we die
[Instrumental]

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

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

Into the oceans of hell, my friend

Into the oceans we ride

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

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