[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 D# We're sailing the seas 'til we die 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

[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 D# We're sailing the seas 'til we die 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 G# We're sailing the seas 'til we die

[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
