[Verse 1]
A C#m F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A/E G/D Bm F#m G F#m Bm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
A C#m F#m
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
A/E G/D Asus/E F#m G F#m Bm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva - tion
A C#m F#m
I stopped an old man along the way
A/E G/D Asus/E F#m G F#m Bm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo - dies
A C#m F#m G Bm
He turned to me as if to say "hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
[Chorus]
Em C G D
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/F# G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
G F#m Bm
Ooo Ooo
G F#m Bm
[Verse 2]
A C#m F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
A/E G/D Asus/E F#m G F#m Bm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
A C#m F#m
I know that I must do what's right
A/E G/D Asus/E F#m G F#m Bm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Ser - engeti
A C#m F#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside
F#m G Bm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Em C G D
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/F# G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
G F#m Bm
Ooo Ooo
G F#m Bm

"hurry boy, she's waiting there for you"
[Outro]
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 D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em C G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em C G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em C G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em C G Bm D Em D/F# G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...

Ooo Ooo
