Late In The Evening Chords

   
Don't make it harder than it is - this is a pretty simple song.  Play it in E, it's 
to sing.  When playing the open chords, alternate within the root to a 4th.  Listen to a 
of it to get the rythym

LATE IN THE EVENING – PAUL SIMON -  E  A  B

E
    A
The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
                                       E
I couldn't've been no more than one or two
    A
And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door
                                       E
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do
          B                                            E
Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through

The next thing I remember, I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah

Singin' late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a J
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play

It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away

First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I wanna get that girl, no matter what I do
Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you

And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through
