Chorus:
 E                                   B          F#
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

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

 G#m              E                 F#
I bless the rains down in Africa

 G#m                  E                 B               D#m      G#m      B
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)


Verse 1:
 C#                           A#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight

 A#m                     B                 D#m       A#m        B     D#m
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

 C#                     A#m
She's coming in, 12:30 flight

 A#m                     B                       D#m                 A#m       B    D#m
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

 C#                  A#m
I stopped an old man along the way

 A#m                     B                D#m                 A#m       B    D#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

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


Chorus:
 G#m                    E                B          F#
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

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

 G#m              E              B     F#
I bless the rains down in Africa

 G#m                  E                B                D#m     F   G#m     B   D#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)


Verse 2:
 C#                         A#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night

 A#m                        B                      D#m      A#m     B    D#m
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company

 C                    A#m
I know that I must do what's right

 A#m                         B             D#m                 A#m      B    D#m
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

 C#                            A#m                            B                 D#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become


Chorus:
 G#m                    E                B          F#
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you (drag me away)

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

 G#m              E              B     F#
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)

 G#m              E              B     F#
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)

 G#m              E              B     F#
I bless the rains down in Africa (down in Africa)

 G#m                  E                B                D#m     F   G#m     B   D#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
