G | Bm || x4
A                   C#m     F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A               G             Bm         F#m   G  Bm
She has only whispers of some quiet conversation
A                C#m           F#m          A
She's coming in twelve thirthy flight   the moolight winds
     G                      Bm7              F#m   G  Bm
     Reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation
A              C#m             F#m
I stopped an old man along the way
A                   G             Bm              F#m   G Bm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melodies
A              C#m       F#m                 G                Bm
He turned to me as if to say  hurry boy it's waiting there for you

     Em           C               G       D
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
     Em                     C             G             D
     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       MTM
     Em          C              G   D
     I bless the rains down in   Africa
     Em             C               G        Bm D Em  G Bm
     Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had
     
A                 C#m         F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
A            G                    Bm            F#m   G  Bm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
A          C#m               F#m
I know that I must do what's right
A                     G          Bm                  F#m   G  Bm
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like olimpus above the seranget-ti
     A         C#m               F#m
     I seek to cure what's deep inside
F#m                 G               Bm
Frightened of this thing that I've become


     Em         C             G       D
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
     Em                   C             G             D
     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
     Em        C             G   D
     I bless the rains down in Africa
     Em           C              G        Bm D Em  G Bm
     Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


A   C#m   F#m   A   G   Bm   F#m    G ^ Bm
A   C#m     F#m             G              Bm
               hurry boy it's waiting there for you
     Em         C             G       D
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
     Em                   C             G             D
     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
     Em        C             G   D
     I bless the rains down in Africa [REPEAT X4]
     Em           C              G        Bm D Em  G Bm
     Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had
