Verse:
Bb               Dm        Gm7
I hear the drums echoing tonight
    Bb             Eb               F         Gm7     Ab    Cm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa --tion
Bb            Dm                 Gm7
 She’s coming in, twelve-thirty flight
    Bb             Eb                   Ab               Gm7       Ab     Cm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva--tion
Bm            Dm              Gm7
I stopped an old man along the way
Bm                  Ab             Fm              Gm7    Ab    Cm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
Bm           Dm         Gm7
He turned to me as if to say
Gm            Ab             Cm
Hurry boy its waiting there for you

Chorus:
     Fm           Db               Ab       Eb
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
       Fm             Db               Ab             Eb
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Fm          Db            Ab    Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
Fm              Db             Ab              Cm  Eb  Fm Ab    Cm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave


Verse:
Bb            Db             Gm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
   Bm                 Ab               Fm       Gm   Ab    Cm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
 Bm          Dm              Gm
I know that I must do what’s right
 Bm         Ab                     Fm               Gm7    Ab   Cm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Seren-geti
 Bm        Dm              Gm7
I seek to cure what’s deep inside
Gm                 Ab                Cm
Frightened of this thing that I’ve become


Chorus:
     Fm           Db               Ab       Eb
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
       Fm             Db               Ab             Eb
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Fm          Db            Ab    Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
Fm              Db             Ab              Cm  Eb  Fm Ab    Cm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave
