The Afirst thing I remember, I was lyin' in my bed

And my mother laughed the way some ladies Edo
When it's B7late in the evening, and all the music's seeping Ethrough
[Verse 2]
The Anext thing I remember, I am walkin' down the street
Feelin' all right, I'm with my boys, I'm with my Etroops, yeah
And Adown along the avenue some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella Egroups, yeah
Singin' B7late in the evening, and all the girls out on the Estoops, yeah
[Verse 3]
Then I Alearned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
I stepped outside to smoke myself a 'EJ'
AWhen I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to Eplay
And it was B7late in the evening, and I blew that room aEway

[Verse 4]
The Afirst thing I remember, when you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I Edo
Well, I Aguess I'd been in love before and once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that EI loved you
It was B7late in the evening and all the music seeping Ethrough
[Outro]
A  A  E  E  A  A  E  E  B7  B7  E  E
