Verse 1:

D        F#m    Bm
I hear the drums echoing tonight

D        C        Em     Bm  C G Em
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion

D       F#m       Bm
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight

  D         C          Em        Bm  C G Em
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion

D      F#m        Bm
I stopped an old man along the way

D          C       Em        Bm  C G Em
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies

  D     F#m     Bm          C         G Em
He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”

Chorus:

Am      F        C    G Gsus4 G
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Am           F       C        G Gsus4 G
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Am     F       C  G Gsus4 G
I bless the rains down in Africa

Am       F        C       Em G Am
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...

G  C G Em
Ooo Ooo

C G Em

Verse 2:

D       F#m      Bm
The wild dogs cry out in the night

  D         C        Em   Bm  C G Em
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny

D      F#m       Bm
I know that I must do what's right

      D      C      Em        Bm  C G Em
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

D     F#m        Bm
I seek to cure what's deep inside

Bm         C          G Em
Frightened of this thing that I've become

Chorus:

Am         F       C     G Gsus4 G
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Am           F       C        G Gsus4 G
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Am      F       C  G Gsus4 G
I bless the rains down in Africa

Am        F       C       Em G Am
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...

G  C G Em
