[Intro] A  A9  C#m

B                 Ebm       Abm
I hear the drums echoing tonight
                     A               Dbm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet
      Abm   A   Dbm
Conversation
B                Ebm     Abm
She's coming in 12:30 flight
                     A                     Dbm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me
           Abm  A  Dbm
Towards salvation
B          Ebm              Abm
I stop to know that along the way
                      A              Dbm
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient
Abm   A  Dbm
Melodies
B              Ebm              Abm
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's
  A
Waiting there for you"

[Estribillo]

F#m                D              A         E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                      D             A
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could
    E
Ever do
F#m           D            A  E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m              D                A
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

( Dbm  E  F#m )
( E  A  Dbm )

B              Ebm            Abm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
                         A              Dbm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary
Abm  A  Dbm
Company
B           Ebm               Abm
I know that I must do what's right
                         A          Dbm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the
Abm     A  Dbm
Serangetti
B                Ebm          Abm
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of
      A
This thing that I've become

[Estribillo]

Abm                A
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

F#m                D              A        E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                       D            A
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could
     E
Ever do
F#m           D           A    E  F#m
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some
D             A    E
Rains down in Africa
F#m           D           A    E  F#m
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some
D             A    E
Rains down in Africa
F#m           D           A    E
I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
