Intro G A C D (2x) 

Verse 
            G                             A 
Well, I was out at the Long Branch, and I was talkin? to this girl. 
                C                            D 
And every hound dog in the joint was sniffing around her. 
                 G                                 A 
I was playing it slow and cool, being the gentleman that I am. 
                 C                               D 
Well, then this grease ball with long black slick back hair 
                  G                          A 
Struts right up to her like I wasn?t even standing there. 
                   C                                  D 
He looks her up and down and cocks his eyebrow and he says, "Baby, damn." 

 

       G 
How do you get in those jeans? 
          A 
Mercy you looking fine. 
                        C                      D 
How do you get in those jeans baby, and tell me how do I? 


Verse 
                            G                     A 
She looked at him and smiled and said I thought you?d never ask. 
                       C                           D 
He looked at me and said that?s how that?s done son, just like that. 
                 G                             A 
I wanted to be mad at him, but to tell you the truth I was really kinda impressed. 
            C                        D 
He said you might get slapped 9 times out of 10, 
            G                       A 
but there?s always one that wants a no B.S. kinda man. 
                      C                                    D 
So I walked up to the next girl I saw who wasn?t wearing a dress, and I leaned in and said. 

Chorus 
       G 
How do you get in those jeans? 
          A 
Mercy you looking fine. 
                        C                      D 
How do you get in those jeans baby, and tell me how do I? (I sure did) 

Verse 
                                    G                                            
   A 
Well, I woke up later in a hospital bed, with a half-pound of gauze wrapped around my  
sore head. 
                       C                                     D 
Some of my teeth were gone, and I was drinking mashed taters through a straw. 
                                       G                                         
              A 
You see, uh, turns out the girl that I propositioned had man, with a chip on his  
shoulder and blunt object in his hand, 
                            C                         A 
who proceeded to express his disapproval of the lines that I crossed. 

                     G                       A 
Well, they told me I could leave, so I put my clothes back on. 
                C                     D 
I stumbled past the waiting room just minding my own. 
        G                    A                         C       
               D 
And then this over nourished night nurse, from out of nowhere comes up to me and she  
says, "Excuse me sir, but um?" 


       G 
How do you get in those jeans? 
          A 
Mercy you looking fine. 
                        C                      D 
How do you get in those jeans baby, and tell me how do I? 

Outro 
        G                   A 
Uh, well um I guess I did need a ride home. 
        C                      D 
I gotta tell myself it was the right thing to do. 
N.C 
Don't judge me.
