First thing [Fm] I remember [Bb] I was lying [C] in my [Bb] bed, couldn't have been [Cm] no [Bb] more than one or [F] two.
[G] [F]
[G] [F] [Bb] Then I remember [Fm] there was a [Bbm] radio coming from [C] the room [Bbm] next door, my mother laughed away
[F] some ladies' jewel.
[C] Well it's late [Dm] in the [C] evening [F] and the music's seeping [G] through.
[F] [Bb]
Next thing I remember I'm walking down the street, I'm feeling alright, I'm with my boys, I'm with my [F] troops, yeah.
[Bb] Down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool and I heard the sound of a cappella [F] groups, yeah.
[C] Singing late in the evening and all the girls out on [F] the stools, yeah.
[Bb] Then I learned to play a song on the guitar, I was underage in a smoky bar and I stepped outside and smoked myself [Fm] a jade.
[Bb] Then when I come back to the room everybody just seemed to move and I turned my amp up loud and I [F] began to play.
And [C] it was [F] late in the [C] evening [G] and I [F] blew that room away.

[Gm] [F] [Bb] Well I guess I've been in love before, once or twice, I've been on the floor, but I never loved no one the way [F] that I love you.
And it [C] was late in the evening and all the music [F] seeping through.
