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.
