[D] Whoa!
[C] [F]
First thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
Couldn't have been no more than one or two
And I remember there was a radio
Coming from the room next door
My mother laughed when some ladies [C] drew
Well, it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
[Bb]
Next thing I remember, I'm walking down the street
I'm feeling all right, I'm with my boys and with my [F] troops, yeah
And [Bb] down along the avenue, some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound of a [F] cappella groups, yeah
Singing [C] late in the evening
And all the girls out [F] on the streets, yeah
[Bb]
Then I learned to play the family guitar
I was underage [C] in this funky bar
[Bb] And I stepped outside and smoked [F] myself a jade
[Bb] And when I come back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and [F] I began to [C] play
And it was late in the [C] evening
And I blew [F] that room away

[Bb] First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I [F] do
[Bb] Well, I guess I've been in love before
Once or twice, I've been on the floor
But I've never loved no one the way [F] that I love you
And it [C] was late in the evening
And all the music's [F] seeping through
