A# Am Dm
A# Am Dm
A# Am Dm

[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

I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm          D#             A#   F

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
    A# Am Dm
Ooo Ooo
    A# Am Dm
