The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed,  
                                       G (320003@1)I couldn't of been no more than one or two. 
        C (x32010@1)              
And I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door, 
                                          G (320003@1)              
and my mother laughed the way some ladies do, 
          D (xx0232@1)                                         G (320003@1)   
when it's late in the evening and the music's seeping through.  
#2.   
    C (x32010@1)              
The next thing I remember, I am walking down the street, 
                                                    G (320003@1)              
I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops. 
    C (x32010@1)              
And down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool,  
                                    G (320003@1)              
and I heard the sound of a cappella groups, 
        Dsinging (xx0232@1)late in the evening, and all the girls out on the 
G (320003@1) 
stoops.  
#3.   
       C (x32010@1)                                                              
Then I learned to play some lead guitar,  
  
I was underage in this funky bar, 
                                         G (320003@1)              
and I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J". 
    C (x32010@1)              
And when I come back to the room,  
  
everybody just seemed to move, 
                                           G (320003@1)              
and I turned my amp up loud and I began to play,  
           D (xx0232@1)                                       G (320003@1)              
and it was late in the evening and I blew that room away.  
#4.   
    C (x32010@1)              
The first thing I remember when you came into my life, 
                                                  G (320003@1)              
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I do. 
        C (x32010@1)              
Well, I guess I'd been in love before 
  
and once or twice I been on the floor, 
                                              G (320003@1)              
but I never loved no one the way that I loved you.
           D (xx0232@1)                              
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seeping  
G (320003@1)
through. (Last line x2.)

An eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
