Verse 1:
(use intro patterns for each chord)
Bb
The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't of been no more
F
Than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed
The way some ladies do
Chorus:
C
When it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
Verse 2:
The next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah!
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound
Of a cappella groups, yeah
Chorus:
Singing late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah!
Verse 4:
Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
And when I came back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
Chorus:
And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away

Verse 5:
The first thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl
No matter what I do
Well I guess I'd been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way that I loved you
