F#m  D  A     E
           Eh yeah  eh yeah
F#m  D  A     E
yeah       Eh yeah  eh yeah
F#m                    D
Yeah it’s gonna take a lot,
            A        E
To drag me away from you,
F#m                     D
 There’s nothing that a hundred men,
   A               E
Or more could ever do,

 I bless the rains down in Africa,
F#m                  D
It’s gonna take some time,
          A               C#m   E  F#m  E    A    G#m C#m
To do the things we never had       (ooh, ooh).

[Interlude]
A    E C#m


Verse 1:
B                D#m       G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight,
    D#m            A                C#m         G#m  A  G#m C#m
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa---tion,
B            D#m       G#m
She's coming in, 12:30 flight,
    D#m             A                    C#m                 G#m  A  G#m C#m
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva---tion,
B            D#m               G#m
I stopped an old man along the way,
D#m                 A             C#m              G#m  A  G#m C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
B            D#m         G#m
He turned to me as if to say,
D#m              A                 C#m
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you   ".


Chorus:
F#m               D               A        E
It's 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
It’s gonna take some time,
          A               C#m   E  F#m  E    A    G#m C#m
To do the things we never had       (ooh, ooh).


[Interlude]
A    E C#m


Verse 2:
B             D#m            G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night,
   D#m                 A                C#m      G#m   A  G#m C#m
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company,
B            D#m              G#m
 I know that I must do what's right,
           D#m         A           C#m              G#m    A  G#m C#m
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti,
B         D#m                G#m                      A                 C#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become.
 B

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, (I bless the rain),
F#m         D             A   E

It’s gonna take some time,
          A               C#m   E  F#m  E    A    G#m C#m
To do the things we never had       (ooh, ooh).
A    G#m C#m
