  [Verse 1]
  C                   Em     Am
  I hear the drums echoing tonight
  C/G              Bb/F           Dm         Am   Bb Am Dm
  She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
  C                 Em           Am
  She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
  C/G              Bb/F                    Dm7              Am   Bb Am Dm
  The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
  C              Em             Am
  I stopped an old man along the way
  C/G                Bb/F            Dm              Am   Bb Am Dm
  Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
  C              Em       Am                  Bb                Dm
  He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
  [Chorus]
  Gm                 Eb        Bb        F
  Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Gm                     Eb             Bb               F
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       
  Gm          Eb           Bb   F
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Gm             Eb               Bb              Dm F Gm
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      Bb Am Dm
  Ooo Ooo
      Bb Am Dm
  [Verse 2]
  C             Em            Am
  The wild dogs cry out in the night
  C/G                  Bb/F              Dm      Am   Bb Am Dm
  As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
  C           Em              Am
  I know that I must do what's right
  C/G                   Bb/F        Dm               Am    Bb Am Dm
  As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
  C         Em                Am
  I seek to cure what's deep inside
  Am                Bb                   Dm
  Frightened of this thing that I've become
  [Chorus]
       Gm                 Eb        Bb        F
  It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Gm                     Eb             Bb               F
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
  Gm        Eb             Bb   F
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Gm             Eb               Bb              Dm F Gm
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      Bb Am Dm
  Ooo Ooo
