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.)
