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

[Verse 1]
D#mWell I was just a boy of 12 when I F#first left the land
BI'd never seen a pump before D#mnor held one in my hand
G#mBut fate it had in store for me a D#mdifferent destiny
BWhen I joined the crew of the A#mleakiest ship thatD#m ever sailed the seas
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D#mWe were a crew of scurvy dogs but F#sure we loved to pump
BEven though the ship we sailed was F#mjust a ragged dump
G#Every day we pumped together F#mstanding side by side
G#The water kept on creeping in, I A#thought that we might die
[Chorus]
D#Into the oceans of Bhell, my friend
F#Into the oceans we C#ride
G#Pump with both hands 'til you're D#mback on dry land
D#We're sailing the seas 'til we die
BInto the oceans of hell, my friend
F#Into the oceans we C#ride
G#Pump with both hands 'til you're D#mback on dry land
D#We're sailing the seas 'til we die

[Verse 3]
D#mTwas in the gulf of Mexico we F#sailed a crimson tide
BAnd all the other piratesF#m began to run and hide
G#"This is a devil's omen, D#mwe cannot pump these seas"
BI found myself A#malone on deck, so the D#mtask it fells to me
[Instrumental]
F# B D#m G#m F#m F#
[Verse 4]
D#mThe pumpy quest ahead of me was F#ominous and grim
BOur ship was sinking rapidly, D#mthe red tide flowing in
AI battened down the hatches, D#mprepared to do what's right
G#mI screamed a mighty battle cry and A#pumped all through the night
[Chorus]
D#Into the oceans of Bhell, my friend
F#Into the oceans we C#ride
G#Pump with both hands 'til you're D#back on dry land
D#We're sailing the seas 'til we die
D#Into the oceans of Bhell, my friend
F#Into the oceans we C#ride
G#Pump with both hands 'til you're D#mback on dry land
G#We're sailing the seas 'til we die

WD#me're sailing the seas 'til we die

[Outro]
D#mThen daylight came, F#and all was calm, the Bship she did not sink
D#mAnd all the G#mcrew did D#mcelebrate their D#rescue from the D#mbrink
But when they spied F#where I did lay, the Bmood it fell berefD#mt
G#mFor by the time the sun D#marose, BI'd pumped A#myself to D#mdeath
