A G#m C#m B D#m E F#m D


Intro: A G#m C#m x4

B                  D#m     G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
B              A
She hears only whispers of some
E           G#m  A G#m C#m
quiet conversa - tion
B            D#m               G#m
Sheʼs coming in, twelve thirty flight
B                    A
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that
E                  G#m  A G#m C#m
guide me toward salva-tion
 
B            D#m               G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
B                   A
Hoping to find some old forgotten words
E          G#m  A   G#m C#m
or ancient melo-dies
B               D#m      G#m
He turned to me as if to say
                 A                 G#m C#m
«hurry boy, itʼs waiting there for you»

Chorus:
    F#m          D
    Gonna take a lot to drag me
    A         E
    away from you
    F#m                     D
    Thereʼs nothing that a hundred men or
    A               E
    more could ever do
     
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
    F#m             D
    Gonna take some time to do the
    A               C#m E F#m A
    things we never had...
     
        A G#m C#m A G#m C#m
    Ooo Ooo

B             D#m            G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
B                     A
As they grow restless longing for some
E        G#m   A G#m C#m
solitary compa-ny
B           D#m              G#m
I know that I must do whatʼs right
           B           A
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
E         G#m   A G#m C#m
above the Serengeti
 
B         D#m                G#m
I seek to cure whatʼs deep inside
                   A                   G#m C#m
Frightened of this thing that Iʼve become

Chorus:
         F#m          D
    It’s gonna take a lot to drag me
    A         E
    away from you
    F#m                     D
    Thereʼs nothing that a hundred men or
    A               E
    more could ever do
     
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
    F#m             D
    Gonna take some time to do the
    A               C#m E F#m A
    things we never had...
     
        A G#m C#m A G#m C#m
    Ooo Ooo

Bridge:
                                        A   G#m C#m
    «hurry boy, sheʼs waiting there for you»

Outro:
         F#m          D
    It’s gonna take a lot to drag me
    A         E
    away from you
    F#m                     D
    Thereʼs nothing that a hundred men or
    A               E
    more could ever do
     
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
     
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
     
    F#m         D
    I bless the rains down
       A   E
    in Africa
    F#m             D
    Gonna take some time to do the
    A               C#m E F#m A
    things we never had...
     
        A G#m C#m
    Ooo Ooo

Coda: A G#m C#m x6
