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

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die
B
Into the oceans of hell, my friend

Into the oceans we ride

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

We're sailing the seas 'til we die

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

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