  [Verse 1]
  A                   C#m     F#m
  I hear the drums echoing tonight
  A/E              G/D           Bm         F#m   G F#m Bm
  She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
  A                 C#m           F#m
  She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
  A/E              G/D                    Bm7              F#m   G F#m Bm
  The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
  A              C#m             F#m
  I stopped an old man along the way
  A/E                G/D            Bm              F#m   G F#m Bm
  Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
  A              C#m       F#m                  G                Bm
  He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
  [Chorus]
  Em                 C#b        G        D
  Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Em                     C#b             G               D
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       
  Em          C#b           G   D
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Em             C#b               G              Bm D Em
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      G F#m Bm
  Ooo Ooo
      G F#m Bm
  [Verse 2]
  A             C#m            F#m
  The wild dogs cry out in the night
  A/E                  G/D              Bm      F#m   G F#m Bm
  As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
  A           C#m              F#m
  I know that I must do what's right
  A/E                   G/D        Bm               F#m    G F#m Bm
  As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
  A         C#m                F#m
  I seek to cure what's deep inside
  F#m                G                   Bm
  Frightened of this thing that I've become
  [Chorus]
       Em                 C#b        G        D
  It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Em                     C#b             G               D
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
  Em        C#b             G   D
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Em             C#b               G              Bm D Em
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      G F#m Bm
  Ooo Ooo

  [Outro/Chorus]
       Em                 C#b        G        D
