[Verse 1]
    A
The first thing I remember, I was 
lyin' in my bed
I couldn't have been no more than 
       E
one or two
        A
And I remember there's a radio, 
comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some 
       E
ladies do
          B7                       
When it's late in the evening, and 
                        E
all the music's seeping through

[Verse 2]
    A
The next thing I remember, I am 
walkin' down the street
Continues after the ad
Feelin' all right, I'm with my boys,
             E
 I'm with my troops, yeah
    A
And down along the avenue some guys 
were shooting pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella 
E
groups, yeah
        B7                         
Singin' late in the evening, and 
                       E
all the girls out on the stoops, 
yeah

[Verse 3]
       A
Then I learned to play some lead 
guitar, I was underage in this funky
 bar
I stepped outside to smoke myself a 
 E
'J'
A
When I come back to the room, 
everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I 
         E
began to play
           B7                      
And it was late in the evening, and
                   E
 I blew that room away

[Verse 4]
    A
The first thing I remember, when you
 came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl, no 
              E
matter what I do
        A
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 
     E
that I loved you
       B7                          
It was late in the evening and all 
                  E
the music seeping through
