E5  A5  B5 

E5     A5 
The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed 
                                       E5 
I couldn't've been no more than one or two 
    A5 
And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door 
                                       E5 
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do 
          B5                                            E5 
Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through 


The next thing I remember, I am walking down a street 
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah 
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool 
And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah 

Singin' late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah 

Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar 
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a J 
When I come back to the room , everybody just seemed to move 
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play 

It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away 

First thing I remember when you came into my life 
I said I wanna get that girl, no matter what I do 
Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor 
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you 

And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through
