This song is number 11 off of Stephen Malkmus' self-titled album w/ The Jicks

There is a constant chord progression throughout the verses that goes like
this-

D-     x-5-7-7-x-x-
Db/D-  x-4-7-7-x-x-
B/D-   7-x-7-7-x-x
A/D-   5-x-7-7-x-x
G-     3-5-5-x-x-x
F#/G-  2-5-5-x-x-x-
Em-    0-2-2-0-0-0
A-     0-0-2-2-2-0

Then the prechorus thing is an alternating G and D, dig?
Check it:

D     Db/D    B/D   A/D    G    F#m/G
Jennifer ...

           Em        A
He's the ...

D     Db/D    B/D
She's 18,...

A/D    G    F#m/G
She's a ...

         Em        A
Of a ...

G            D
Kiss when ...

G            D
To ...

G            D
And if ...

G            D
They don't ...

Em           G
In joining ...

The chords for the next verse is identical until you get to "Let me out.."
then you do an A on the 7th fret with a little Chuck Berry alternation going
on like so:

5-7-7-x-x-x
5-7-7-x-x-x
5-9-x-x-x-x
5-7-7-x-x-x

then you do the D and G respective equivalents


A
Let me out ...

G
Let me ...

G
You got to ...

D
You ...

A
Let me ...

G
Out of ...

G
Out of here,...

A
running

Then it's the same as the beginning until the very end, there's a little
change on the very last chord

G
Neither one listens...

    D
To ...

G
The Ess-...

       D
And he sold ...

Em              G
Jenny ...

Em              G
And off ...

Em              Eb...D
Off came ...


That's it. I've never seen him live, so I don't know if that's %100 correct.
Have a good time.
