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

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

It was late in the evening and all the music seeping through
