  [Verse 1]
  E                   G#m     C#m
  I hear the drums echoing tonight
  E/B              D/A           F#m         C#m   D C#m F#m
  She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
  E                 G#m           C#m
  She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
  E/B              D/A                    F#m7              C#m   D C#m F#m
  The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
  E              G#m             C#m
  I stopped an old man along the way
  E/B                D/A            F#m              C#m   D C#m F#m
  Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
  E              G#m       C#m                  D                F#m
  He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
  [Chorus]
  Bm                 G#b        D        A
  Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Bm                     G#b             D               A
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       
  Bm          G#b           D   A
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Bm             G#b               D              F#m A Bm
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      D C#m F#m
  Ooo Ooo
      D C#m F#m
  [Verse 2]
  E             G#m            C#m
  The wild dogs cry out in the night
  E/B                  D/A              F#m      C#m   D C#m F#m
  As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
  E           G#m              C#m
  I know that I must do what's right
  E/B                   D/A        F#m               C#m    D C#m F#m
  As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
  E         G#m                C#m
  I seek to cure what's deep inside
  C#m                D                   F#m
  Frightened of this thing that I've become
  [Chorus]
       Bm                 G#b        D        A
  It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Bm                     G#b             D               A
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
  Bm        G#b             D   A
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Bm             G#b               D              F#m A Bm
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…

  Ooo Ooo

  [Outro/Chorus]
