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

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

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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

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