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

  [Bridge]
  B   D#7  G#m                 A                  C#m
              “hurry boy, she's waiting there for you”
  [Outro/Chorus]
       F#m                 D#b        A        E
  It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  F#m                    D#b              A               E
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
