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

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

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

Into the oceans of hell, my friend

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

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