                    FF C majorC
Under Kilimanjaro she guards her young
                          FF C majorC
And she speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue
                     FF C majorC
She waits and she watches all night long
                      FF C majorC
Calls to her lover and she sings this song

CHORUS:
     FF         G+G      FF C majorC
I will be there for you whatever comes
    FF        G+G       FF A minorAm
I am as constant as the beat of drums
               FF
My love is stronger than the noonday sun
   Dm7Dm7
Over Africa

                        FF C majorC
It's a force of nature, it's the power of need
                          FF C majorC
Love will heal you, baby, and it'll make you bleed
                      FF C majorC
But I will be patient, I will bide my time
                  FF C majorC
I will be waiting like a mama lion

BRIDGE:
                FF       G+G
Between love and money, between pride and sin
               FF
We are just wild things underneath the skin
    G+G             FF       Csus4Csus4
In the cradle of creation we were made this way
            FF      C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9 FF C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC
Bound together 'til our dying day_____


                          FF C majorC
It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth
                      FF C majorC
Live by the senses, baby, die by the tooth
                          FF C majorC
But I would walk through fire, I would swim the sea
                       FF C majorC
Long as I live and breathe, you belong to me


CHORUS:
       FF         G+G      FF C majorC
And I will be there for you whatever comes
    FF        G+G       FF A minorAm
I am as constant as the beat of drums
               FF
My love is stronger than the noonday sun
   Dm7Dm7
