[Verse 1]
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
I hear the drums echoing tonight,
(B) (A) (E) (G#m7) (A) (E) (C#m)
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa__tion.
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
She's coming in twelvethirty flight,
(B) (A) (E) (G#m7) (A) (E) (C#m)
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva__tion.
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
I stopped an old man along the way,
(B) (A) (E) (G#m7) (A) (E) (C#m)
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient me lodies.
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
He turned to me as if to say
[Chorus]
(A) (C#m) (E) (F#m) (D)
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away
(A) (E)
from you,
(F#m) (D) (A) (E)
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
(F#m) (D) (A) (E)
I bless the rains down in Africa.
(F#m) (D) (A) (C#m) (E) (F#m) (E)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

[Verse 2]
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
The wild dogs cry out in the night,
(B) (A) (E) (G#m7) (A) (E) (C#m)
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company.
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
I know that I must do what's right
(B) (A) (E) (G#m7) (A) (E) (C#m)
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
(B) (D#m7) (G#m7)
I seek to cure what's deep inside.
[Chorus]
(A) (C#m) (E) (F#m)
Frightened of this thing that I've become. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away
(D) (A) (E)
from you,
(F#m) (D) (A) (E)
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
(F#m) (D) (A) (E)
I bless the rains down in Africa.
(F#m) (D) (A) (C#m) (E) (F#m) (E)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
