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