[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 that D#mever sailed the seas
[Instrumental]
F# D# D#m G#m D#m D#
[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

[Verse 3]
D#mTwas in the gulf of Mexico we F#sailed a crimson tide
BAnd all the other pirates F#mbegan 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
