[Verse 1]
A
The first thing I remember, I was lyin' in my bed
E
I couldn't have been no more than one or two
A
And I remember there's a radio, comin' from the room next door
E
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do
B7 E
When it's late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through
[Verse 2]
A
The next thing I remember, I am walkin' down the street
E
Feelin' all right, I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
A
And down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool
E
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah
B7 E
Singin' late in the evening, and 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
E
I stepped outside to smoke myself a 'J'
A
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
E
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
B7 E
And it was late in the evening, and I blew that room away
[Break]

[Verse 4]
A
The first thing I remember, when you came into my life
E
I said I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I do
A
Well, I guess I'd been in love before and once or twice I been on the floor
E
But I never loved no one the way that I loved you
B7 E
It was late in the evening and all the music seeping through
