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

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

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

Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land

Into the oceans of hell, my friend
A# F
Into the oceans we ride

Pump with both hands 'til you're back on dry land

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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