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

                   A                E                  E 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 B 
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation   

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

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

          D#m7        G#m7 G#m            A 
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      F#m 
I bless the rains down in  Africa  

                D              A 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

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

   G#m                A                E        EM7     A C#m B 
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company      

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

                       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 
It's 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      F#m 
I bless the rains down in  Africa  

                D              A               C#m E
