Paul Simon – Late In The Evening (Ukulele)

    F                
The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed,  

                                       C 
I couldn't of been no more than one or two. 

        F                
And I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door, 

                                          C                
and my mother laughed the way some ladies do, 

          G                                           C     
when it's late in the evening and the music's seeping through.  

    F                
The next thing I remember, I am walking down the street, 

                                                    C                
I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops. 

    F                
And down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool,  

                                    C                
and I heard the sound of a cappella groups, 

        G
singing late in the evening, and all the girls out on the 

C   
stoops.  

       F                                                                
Then I learned to play some lead guitar,  

                                         C                
and I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J". 

    F                
And when I come back to the room,  

                                           C                
and I turned my amp up loud and I began to play,  

           G                                         C                
and it was late in the evening and I blew that room away.  

    F                
The first thing I remember when you came into my life, 

                                                  C                
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I do. 

        F                
Well, I guess I'd been in love before 

                                              C                
but I never loved no one the way that I loved you.

           G                                
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seeping  

C  
through. (Last line x2.)
