    A
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
[Break] A A E E A A E E B7 B7 E E [Verse 4]
    A
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

       B7                                            E
It was late in the evening and all the music seeping through
[Outro] A A E E A A E E B7 B7 E E
