Late In The Evening

    C
The first thing I remember I was 
lying in my bed,
I couldn't of been no more than one 
   G
or two.
        C
And I remember there's a radio 
comin' from the room next door,
and my mother laughed the way some 
       G
ladies do,
          D                      
when it's late in the evening and 
                     G
the music's seeping through.
#2.
    C
The next thing I remember, I am 
walking down the street,
I'm feeling all right I'm with my 
                  G
boys, I'm with my troops.
    C
And down along the avenue some guys 
were shooting pool,
and I heard the sound of a cappella 
G
groups,
Continues after the ad
        D
singing late in the evening, and all
 the girls out on the
G
stoops.
#3.
       C
Then I learned to play some lead 
guitar,

I was underage in this funky bar,
and I stepped outside to smoke 
          G
myself a "J".
    C
And when I come back to the room,

everybody just seemed to move,
and I turned my amp up loud and I 
         G
began to play,
           D                       
and it was late in the evening and 
                  G
I blew that room away.
#4.
    C
The first thing I remember when you 
came into my life,
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no 
              G
matter what I do.
        C
Well, I guess I'd been in love 
before

and once or twice I been on the 
floor,
but I never loved no one the way 
             G
that I loved you.
           D
And it was late in the evening, and 
all the music seeping
G
through. (Last line x2.)
