Verse 1: 
(use intro patterns for each chord) 

       Bb 
   The first thing I remember 
   I was lying in my bed 
   I couldn't of been no more 
               F 
   Than one or two 

   I remember there's a radio 
   Comin' from the room next door 
   And my mother laughed 
   The way some ladies do 


Chorus: 

             C 
   When it's late in the evening 
   And the music's seeping through 


Verse 2: 

   The next thing I remember 
   I am walking down the street 
   I'm feeling all right 
   I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah! 

   And down along the avenue 
   Some guys were shooting pool 
   And I heard the sound 
   Of a cappella groups, yeah 


Chorus: 

   Singing late in the evening 
   And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah! 


Verse 4: 

   Then I learned to play some lead guitar 
   I was underage in this funky bar 
   And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J" 

   And when I came back to the room 
   Everybody just seemed to move 
   And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play 


Chorus: 

   And it was late in the evening 
   And I blew that room away

Verse 5: 

   The first thing I remember 
   When you came into my life 
   I said I'm gonna get that girl 
   No matter what I do 

   Well I 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 you 


Chorus 2: 

              C 
   And it was late in the evening 
                             F 
   And all the music seeping through
