I hear the drums echoing tonight

B               A             C#m         G#m   A  C#m
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion

B                 D#m          G#m         B
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight, the moonlit winds

A                      C#m7              G#m  A  C#m
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

B                   A             C#m              G#m  A C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melodies

B              D#7       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               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

I bless the rains down in Africa

The wild dogs cry out in the night

B            A                    C#m            G#m  A  C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

B          D#m               G#m
I know that I must do what's right

B                      A           C#m              G#m    A  C#m
As sure as Kilimangaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

B         D#7               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             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

Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had
