The
B
first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't of been no more
I re
B
member there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed
When it's
C
late in the evening
And the music's seeping
F
through
The
B
next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys, I'm with my
F
troops, yeah
And
B
down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound
Of a cappella
F
groups, yeah
Singing
C
late in the evening
And all the girls out on the
F
stoops, yeah
Then I
B
learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "
F
J"
And
B
when I came back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I be
F
gan to play
And it was
C
late in the evening
And I blew that room
F
away
The
B
first thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl
Well I
B
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
F
loved you
And it was
C
late in the evening
And all the music seeping
F
through
