[Verse 1]
C Em Am
I hear the drums echoing tonight
C/G A#/F Dm Am A# Am Dm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
C Em Am
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
C/G A#/F Csus/G Am A# Am Dm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva - tion
C Em Am
I stopped an old man along the way
C/G A#/F Csus/G Am A# Am Dm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo - dies
C Em Am A# Dm
He turned to me as if to say "hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
[Chorus]
Gm D# A# F
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm D# A# F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# Dm F Gm F/A A#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
A# Am Dm
Ooo Ooo
A# Am Dm
[Verse 2]
C Em Am
The wild dogs cry out in the night
C/G A#/F Csus/G Am A# Am Dm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
C Em Am
I know that I must do what's right
C/G A#/F Csus/G Am A# Am Dm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Ser - engeti
C Em Am
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Am A# Dm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Gm D# A# F
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm D# A# F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# Dm F Gm F/A A#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
A# Am Dm
Ooo Ooo
A# Am Dm

[Outro]
Gm D# A# F
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm D# A# F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# Dm F Gm F/A A#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
A# Am Dm
Ooo Ooo
A# Am Dm
