Version 1 Version 2Late In The Evening:Paul Simon. #6 in 1980. #1. 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. #2. 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. #3. 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. #4. 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.
