Intro: A5  |  Db5 B5  | 

B5                 Eb5       Ab5  
I hear the drums echoing tonight
                     A5               Db5
But she hears only whispers of some quiet
      Ab5   A5   Db5
conversation
B5                Eb5     Ab5
She's coming in 12:30 flight
                     A5                     Db5
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me 
           Ab5  A5  Db5
towards salvation
B5          Eb5              Ab5
I stop to know that along the way
                      A5              Db5
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient 
Ab5   A5  Db5
melodies
B5              Eb5                Ab5
I stopped an old man along to say, "Hurry boy, it's 
  A5
waiting there for you"

Refr?o:
F#5                D5              A5         E5
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#5                      D5             A5  
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could 
    E5
ever do
F#5           D5            A5  E5
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#5              D5                A5            
Gonna take some time to do the things we never
Db5  E5  F#5  E5  A5  Db5
had


B5              Eb5            Ab5
The wild dogs cry out in the night
                         A5              Db5
As they grow restless longing for some solitary 
Ab5  A5  Db5
company
B5           Eb5               Ab5
I know that I must do what's right
                         A5          Db5     
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the
Ab5     A5  Db5
Serangetti
B5                Eb5          Ab5          
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of 
      A5
this thing that I've become

(Refr?o) - (Solo)


Ab5                A5
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you


F#5                D5              A5        E5
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#5                       D5            A5
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could 
     E5
ever do
F#5           D5           A5    E5  F#5        
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some 
D5             A5    E5
rains down in Africa
F#5           D5           A5    E5  F#5    
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some 
D5             A5    E5
rains down in Africa
F#5           D5           A5    E5
I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
