[A]
[A] [G] [D]
[G] I [G] was out at the long branch and I was talking to this girl.
[A] Every hound dog in the joint was sniffing around her.
[A] [C] I was [G] playing it slow and [D] cool, being the gentleman that I am.
[Dm]
[G] I'm in this grease ball with long black slick back hair.
[A] It struts right up to her like I wasn't even standing there.
[C] It looks her up and [D] down and cocks his eyebrow and it says,
Baby, [G] now, how do you get in those jeans?
[G] Mercy, you looking [A] fine.
How do you get in [C] those jeans, baby?
[D] [A] Tell me, how [G] do I?
[D]
[Ebm] She looked at him and smiled and said, I thought you'd never ask.
[A] He looked at me and said, now, that's how it's done, son, just like that.
[C] I wanted to be [D] mad at him, but to tell you the truth, I was really kind of impressed.
[D]
[G] He said, you might get slapped nine times out of ten,
[A] but there's always one that wants to know BS kind of man.
[C] So I walked up to the next girl I saw that wasn't wearing a dress.
[G] And I leaned in and I [D] said, how [Bb] do you get in [G] those jeans?
Mercy, you [A] looking fine.
How do you get in [C] those jeans, baby?

[G] [D]
[F] [G] I woke up later in a hospital bed [A] with a half pound of gall wrapped around my sore head.
[C] Some of my teeth were gone and [D] I was drinking mashed taters through a straw.
You see, [G] turns out the girl that I'd propositioned had a man [A] with a chip on his shoulder
and a blunt object in his hand [C] who proceeded to express [D] his disapproval of the lines that [G] I crossed.
[D]
[G] They told me I could leave, so I put my clothes back on.
[A] I stumbled past the waiting room, just minding my own.
[C] And then this overnourished [D] night nurse from out of nowhere comes up to [G] me and she says,
excuse me, sir, but [A] how do you [G] get in those jeans?
Mercy, you [A] looking fine.
How do you get in [C] those jeans, baby?
[D] And tell me, how do [G] I?
[D] Well, I guess [G] I did need a ride home.
I got to [A] tell myself it's the right thing to do.
[C] [D] Don't judge me.
