Verse
B                D#m7    G#m7 
I hear the drums echoing tonight 

                   A                E                  G#m7 A C#m7 
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation       

B            D#m7             G#m7 
She's coming in twelve:thirty flight 

    G#m     F#m7  A                      G#m                        A 
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation  

B            D#m               G#m7 
I stopped an old man along the way 

                    A             E                         A AM7 C#m 
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies      

B            D#m7        G#m7 G#m            A 
He turned to me as if to say Hurry  boy it's waiting there for you 

C#m  C#m 
It's  


Chorus
F#m              D              A         E 
   gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

F#m                    D              A               E  F#m 
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do  

            D          A  E 
I bless the rains down in Africa 

F#m             D              A               C#m 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had 

E F#m A C#m C#m7 A C#m7 
              


Verse
B             D#m            G#m 
The wild dogs cry out in the night 

   G#m                A                E        F#m7         A C#m7 B 
As they grow restless longing for some solitary     company       

            D#m7             G#m7 
I know that I must do what's right 

           G#m         A                            E         A C#m B 
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti      

          D#m              G#m 
I seek to cure what's deep inside 

G#m                A                      C#m 
Frightened of this thing that I've become  


Chorus
F#m               D              A         E   F#m 
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a 

D              A               E  F#m 
hundred men or more could ever do  

            D             A E 
I bless the rains down in  Africa 

F#m             D              A               C#m 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
