Bb                                       Ebm
First thing I remember I was lying in my bed
Bb               Cm7                    
Couldn't've been no more than one or two
                               Bb                            
And I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door
    Bb                                      
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do
          C                  
When it's late in the evening
        C7              G7      F7 G7
And the music's seeping through ■  ■ 
    Bb           Cm7           Bb               Cm7   
The next thing I remember I am walking down the street
            Bb                                   F          
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys I'm with my troops yeah
    Bb                                                
And down along the avenue some guys were shootin' pool
      Fsus4                         F7          F
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups yeah ■
C                          
Singing late in the evening
                             F          
And all the girls out on the stoops yeah
C        Bb                                                               
■ Then I learned to play some lead guitar I was underage in this funky bar
      Bb7     Bb                        F7 F
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a J  ■


[Chorus]
    Bb                                                            
And when I came back to the room and everybody just seemed to move
                                F            
And I turned my amp up loud and began to play
           C                  
And it was late in the evening
                F        
And I blew that room away

[Verse]
Bb                                               
First thing I remember when you came into my life
                                                F 
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
       Bb                                                                   
Well I guess I'd been in love before and once or twice I'd been on the floor
                                 F          
But I never loved no one the way I loved you
           C                  
And it was late in the evening
                          F      
And all the music seeping through
