A G#m C#m
A G#m C#m
B D#m G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
B A C#m
She hears only whispers of some quiet
G#m A G#m C#m
conversa - tion
B D#m G#m
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
B A Bsus4
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me
G#m A G#m C#m
toward salva - tion
B D#m G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
B A Bsus4
Hoping to find some old forgotten words
G#m A G#m C#m
or ancient melo - dies
B D#m G#m
He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy,
A C#m
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 E
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
F#m E A A G#m C#m
Ooo Ooo
A G#m C#m
B D#m G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
B A
As they grow restless longing for some
Bsus4 G#m A G#m C#m
solitary compa-ny
B D#m G#m
I know that I must do what's right
B A Bsus4
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
G#m A G#m C#m
above the Ser - engeti
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 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...
