Dm   Bb C (4x)


[Verse 1]
   Dm                Bb         C
In dark, deep jungle I hear the wild drum
   Dm                  Bb         C
My heart beats faster, knowing my time's come
    Dm             Bb          C
The voodoo master, waiting for nightfall
      Dm             Bb          C     Dm     Bb C
Draws signs of magic on my white woman skin


[Chorus]
Dm
Africa charms me with her power
Bb
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Dm                           Bb
Africa, dancin' 'til my body burns so hot
                     Dm   Bb C Dm   Bb C
Crying to the voodoo God, Africa


[Verse 2]
     Dm                Bb      C
I am dancing bare-foot under a red sun
   Dm               Bb         C
My sense is high to feel like emotion
  Dm                Bb       C
Gazelle or panther, I hear a lion roar
    Dm             Bb            C       Dm      Bb C
The voodoo goddess fills me with all her force


[Chorus]
Dm
Africa charms me with her power
Bb
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Dm                           Bb
Africa, dancin' 'til my body burns so hot
                     Dm   Bb C Dm   Bb C
Crying to the voodoo God, Africa


[Verse 3]
   Dm              Bb       C
In tribal dwellin' I lie in cool shade
     Dm            Bb          C
From heaven opened falling the sweet rain
     Dm            Bb          C
From danger hiding between her sharp claws
  Dm                Bb         C      Dm    Bb C
A shadow is moving, bow to the voodoo law
