Standard (EADGBE)
The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed,
I couldn't of been no more than one or two.
And I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door,
and my mother laughed the way some ladies do,
when it's late in the evening and the music's seeping through.
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.
And down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool,
and I heard the sound of a cappella groups,
singing late in the evening, and all the girls out on the
stoops.
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 come back to the room,
everybody just seemed to move,
and I turned my amp up loud and I began to play,
and it was late in the evening and I blew that room away.
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.
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seeping
through. (Last line x2.)
