[Intro] A C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m

[Verse 1] B Ebm G#m I hear the drums echoing tonight B A C#m G#m A C#m She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation B Ebm G#m B She's coming in twelve thirty flight the moonlit wings A C#m7 G#m A C#m Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion B Ebm G#m I stopped an old man along the way B A C#m G#m A C#m Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melo-dies B Ebm G#m A C#m He turned to me as if to say hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

[Chorus] F#m D A E Gonna take a lot to drag me away 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 Gonna take some time to do the things we never C#m E F#m E haaaaaaaaaaaad A C#m A C#m

[Verse 2] B Ebm G#m The wild dogs cry out in the night B A C#m G#m A C#m As they grow restless longing for some solitary company B Ebm G#m I know that I must do what's right B A C#m G#m A C#m As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti B Ebm 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 Gonna take a lot to drag me away 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 Gonna take some time to do the things we never C#m E F#m E haaaaaaaaaaaad A C#m A C#m
