hey, yo, how you doing? _ _ _ _
Pickle song originally written by Carl Sikkens.
It's called The Devil and Mr.
Chips, but we call [Eb] it Chips.
[Cm] Let's go, come on! _ _ _ _ _

_ [C] _ _ [G] Sik was a [C] poor red-eyed, just rolling around his grind,
Working [Bb] in a boat, up here in the [C] river sand.
When the chip was out of work, the devil appeared from hell.
[A] He held a roll of copper, and a bucket [C] full of nails.
The devil said, I'm the Sik, [Bb] make this nail the copper roll.
[Ab] You also have to sing this [Bb] rhyme, and I will take your soul.
[C] But Sik was twice a rat, [Eb] and the rat spilled his.
[Bb] And the bucket of nails and [Eb] copper, was [C] him and she was [Ab] his.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ Well, Sik [A] was straight to work, he got rid of the rat.
He wouldn't be a problem [Eb] with the step, the [C] turn or back.
But the devil would not die, no matter [G] how hard he tried.
[Cm] The rat [Eb] attacked the boat, right on, he bit him [Cm] in the eye.
He seemed to saw the little rat, [Gm] fell under, seemed to smell.
[Ab] The devil and Sik were round the [F] gate, his life was [Bb] living hell.
[C] He stole and lost his wife, [Eb] he lost his family.
[Bb] He lost his job, and had to [Eb] sell the king's gravy.

[C] A lemon [Eb] goes a pip, [Ab] a yard will [Bb] fill the ship.
[C] I'll chase him in my [Ab] master, I will get [Bb] you shipped.
[C] A lemon [Eb] goes a pip, a yard [Bb] will fill the ship.

_ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ Well, the rat [Bb] chased Sik up the bank, [E] back of the ship.
[A] They bit him and [Eb] they tortured him, until he [C] found his thing.
He said, what to the captain, they're [A] showing about the rig.
They got the spiders, man, they [Cm] sent them in the brig.
The devil had his man, [Bb] he knew his life to do.
[Ab] He's command the rat to [Bb] do the bank, said Sue.
[Cm] The water rushed in, and the ship went down.
[Bb] She was lost upon the rocks, so [Eb] where's the rat?
[C] The rat's around, [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [F] and they showed him.

[Cm] A lemon [Eb] goes a pip, [Ab] a yard [Bb] will fill the ship.
[C] I'll chase [Eb] him in my master, [Ab] I will get [Bb] you shipped.
[Cm] A lemon [Eb] goes a pip, [Ab] a yard [Bb] will fill the ship.
[Cm] I'll chase [Eb] him in my master, I will [Bb] get you [Cm] shipped.
A [Eb] lemon goes a pip, [Ab] a yard will fill the [G] ship.
I'll chase him in my [G] master.
_ _ _ _ [D] Oh yeah, I got you. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ I'm pretty sure this is the point in the [F] set where I took my [E] shirt off yesterday.
And for continuity on the DVD, I'm going to do it again. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] We're all old punk rockers.
We have to stick together. _ _ _
