[A][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]First thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
Couldn't have been no more
than one or [D]two
And I [G]remember there was a radio
Coming from the room next door
And my mother laughed
The way some [D]ladies do
When it's [A]late in the evening
And the music's seeping [D]through

[Verse 2]
The [G]next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys, I'm with my [D]troops, yeah
And [G]down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound
of a cappella [D]groups, yeah
Singing [A]late in the evening
And all the girls out on the [D]stoops, yeah

[Verse 3]
Then I [G]learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a [D]"J"
And [G]when I come back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud
and I be[D]gan to play
And it was [A]late in the evening
And I blew that [D]room away

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][D][D]
[G][G][D][D]
[A][A][D][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]First thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl
no matter what I [D]do
Well, I [G]guess I've been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
the way that [D]I love you
And it was [A]late in the evening
And all the music seeping [D]through
