E A B E A The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed E I couldn't've been no more than one or two A And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door E My mother laughed the way some ladies' do B E 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
