Intro:  G  Bm | G  Bm | G  Bm | G  Bm

A                 C#m       F#m 
 I hear the drums echoing tonight
F#m/E          G                Bm          F#m  G   Bm 
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion 
A             C#m               F#m 
 She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
    F#m/E           G                    Bm                  F#m  G   Bm 
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva - tion
A             C#m               F#m 
 I stopped an old man along the way
F#m/E               G             Bm               F#m G   Bm 
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies 
A             C#m         F#m 
 He turned to me as if to say
F#m/E           G                    Bm 
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

Em                 C               G        D 
 It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em                      C              G               D 
 There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em           C             G   D 
 I bless the rains down in Africa
Em               C              G               Bm     D    Em     D   G      Bm
 Gonna take some time to do the things we never had                oo, ooo

A              C#m             F#m 
 The wild dogs cry out in the night
   F#m/E              G                Bm       F#m  G   Bm 
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
A            C#m              F#m 
 I know that I must do what's right
           F#m/E       G           Bm               F#m    G   Bm 
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
A          C#m                F#m 
 I seek to cure what's deep inside
F#m/E              G                    Bm 
Frightened of this thing that I've become 

Em                 C               G        D 
 It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em                      C              G               D 
 There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em           C             G   D 
 I bless the rains down in Africa
Em               C              G               Bm     D    Em     D   G      Bm
 Gonna take some time to do the things we never had,               oo, ooo
