Late In The Evening

The [C]first thing I remember I was lying in my bed,
I couldn't of been no more than one or [G]two.
And I re[C]member there's a radio comin' from the room next door,
and my mother laughed the way some ladies [G]do,
when it's [D]late in the evening and the music's seeping [G]through.
The [C]next thing I remember, I am walking down the street,
I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys, I'm with my [G]troops.
And [C]down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool,
and I heard the sound of a cappella [G]groups,
singing [D]late in the evening, and all the girls out on the
[G]stoops.
Then I [C]learned to play some lead guitar,

I was underage in this funky bar,
and I stepped outside to smoke myself a "[G]J".
And [C]when I come back to the room,

everybody just seemed to move,
and I turned my amp up loud and I began to [G]play,
and it was [D]late in the evening and I blew that room a[G]way.
The [C]first thing I remember when you came into my life,
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I [G]do.
Well, I [C]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 [G]you.
And it was [D]late in the evening, and all the music seeping
[G]through. (Last line x2.)
