I'm just finishing what Adam started. Hopefully I'm not too far off. Just like in the original by Todo, there is a motif-like part which is basically the intro to the song. Through the second line of a verse he goes into it if you listen. I'll just put this three chord part in parenthesis and then it's just a matter of getting the rhythm down.Chords (in no apparent order whatsoever) G Bm A Dbm Gbm --3-----2-----0-----0-----3-----3-----| --3-----3-----0-----1-----3-----3-----| --4-----4-----0-----0-----0-----4-----| --5-----4-----2-----2-----0-----5-----| --5-----2-----2-----3-----2-----5-----| --3-----X-----0-----0-----3-----3-----| Chorus Em C G D --0-----0-----3-----2--| --0-----1-----3-----3--| --0-----0-----4-----2--| --2-----2-----5-----0--| --2-----3-----5-----0--| --0-----0-----3-----X--|*** the spacing of the chords is a result of my laziness...Continues after the addon't rely on it... ;)A Dbm Gbm I hear the drums echoing tonightA G Bm Gbm (G Gbm Bm) But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversationA Dbm Gbm She's coming in 12:30 flightA G Bm Gbm (G Gbm Bm) The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvationA Dbm Gbm I stopped an old man along the wayA G Bm Gbm (G Gbm Bm) Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodiesG* Bm G* Bm He turned to me as if to say, ''Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you'' (this is me agreeing with adam... kinda)Em C G D It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youEm C G D There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever doEm C G D I bless the rains down in Afr--icaEm C G Bm D Em G Bm
