DIt was the first time in my Bmsixteen years that GI heard Mr. DBig played 
DNot the one you’re Bmthinking of it’s the Glyrics of a Dpimp 
Coming out Bmhard, Gwe were living Dlarge 
DIn the Howard Johnson Bmparking lot GSaturday Dnight 
[Chorus]
GFeel your way into a Emblue lit room 
DWhere the smoke’s so thick from the cigarettes and the Aweed your brother bought yoGu 
[Verse]
DKatie got her Bmbraces off at G12 o’clock on DThursday 
DIf the evening goes as Bmplanned then we’ll be Gfrenching in my Dcar 
DToo many Bmcoolers and she’s Gpuking in the Dbushes  
DOf the Howard Johnson Bmparking lot GSaturday Dnight 
[Chorus]
GFeel your way into a Emblue lit room 
DWhere the smoke’s so thick from the cigarettes and the Aweed your brother bought yoGu

DHazy Emrings around the Gmoon 
DForget the Emspringtime cause the Gsummers coming Asoon 
DEverytEmhing seems Gjust right 
You can Dfeel it in the Cair toniGght 
And you can Dfeel it in the Cair toniGghtD  
[Verse]
DWell, the pretty one is still Bmweeping ‘neath that Gyellow glowing Dstreet lamp 
DI really wish she’d Bmknock it off but you Gknow I won’t say Dso 
DProbably go coBmnsole her and tGry to take her Dhome 
DSo we can make out in her dBmriveway on SGilver Spur DRoad

Beneath that yellow glowing street lamp

A pretty girl sat weeping

Same way I’ve seen her do about a hundred times before

Tears were falling down into a puddle upon the asphalt

Pretty one’s a crying in that Ho Jo parking lot

[Verse]

D Bm G D

It was the first time in my sixteen years that I heard Mr. Big played

Not the one you’re thinking of it’s the lyrics of a pimp

Coming out hard, we were living large

D Bm G D

In the Howard Johnson parking lot Saturday night

[Chorus]

G Em

Feel your way into a blue lit room

D A G

Where the smoke’s so thick from the cigarettes and the weed your brother bought you

[Verse]

D Bm G D

Katie got her braces off at 12 o’clock on Thursday

If the evening goes as planned then we’ll be frenching in my car

Too many coolers and she’s puking in the bushes

Hazy rings around the moon

Forget the springtime cause the summers coming soon

Everything seems just right

You can feel it in the air tonight

And you can feel it in the air tonight

[Verse]

D Bm G D

Well, the pretty one is still weeping ‘neath that yellow glowing street lamp

D Bm G D

I really wish she’d knock it off but you know I won’t say so

Probably go console her and try to take her home

D Bm G D

So we can make out in her driveway on Silver Spur Road
