    C
The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed,  
                                       G
I couldn't of been no more than one or two. 
        C
And I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door, 
                                          G
and my mother laughed the way some ladies do, 
          D                                           G
when it's late in the evening and the music's seeping through.

    C
The next thing I remember, I am walking down the street, 
                                                    G
I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops. 
    C
And down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool,  
                                    G
and I heard the sound of a cappella groups, 
        D
singing late in the evening, and all the girls out on the 
G
stoops.

       C
Then I learned to play some lead guitar,  
 
I was underage in this funky bar,
                                         G
and I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J". 
    C
And when I come back to the room,  
 
everybody just seemed to move,
                                           G
and I turned my amp up loud and I began to play,  
           D                                         G
and it was late in the evening and I blew that room away.

    C
The first thing I remember when you came into my life, 
                                                  G
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I do. 
        C
Well, I guess I'd been in love before 
 
and once or twice I been on the floor,
                                              G
but I never loved no one the way that I loved you.
           D
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seeping  
G
through. (Last line x2.)
 
An eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
