Africa

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

[Verse 1]
C#                        A#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A#m                 B            
But she hears only whispers of 
   D#m   A#m    B   D#m
some quiet conversation
C#                  A#m
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
A#m                 B            
The moonlit wings reflect the 
         D#m             
stars that guide me towards 
A#m   B  D#m
salvation
C#               A#m
I stopped an old man along the way

A#m                 B             
Hoping to find some old forgotten 
 D#m             A#m   B  D#m
words or ancient melodies
C#                       A#m     
He turned to me as if to say, 
               B               D#m
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for 
you"

[Chorus]
G#m                E          
It's gonna take a lot to drag me 
    B        F#
away from you
G#m                     E        
There's nothing that a hundred 
      B             F#
men or more could ever do
G#m          E            B   F#
I bless the rains down in Africa
G#m              E          
Gonna take some time to do the 
    B              D#m F G#m B D#m
things we never had (ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]
C#                      A#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
A#m                    B         
As they grow restless, longing 
           D#m  A#m B  D#m
for some solitary company
C                  A#m
I know that I must do what's right
A#m                     B        
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like
   D#m             A#m  B  D#m
 Olympus above the Serengeti
C#                         A#m   
I seek to cure what's deep 
                     B          
inside, frightened of this thing 
     D#m
that I've become

[Chorus]
G#m                E          
It's gonna take a lot to drag me 
    B        F#
away from you (drag me away)
G#m                     E        
There's nothing that a hundred 
      B             F#
men or more could ever do
G#m          E            B   
I bless the rains down in Africa (I 
F#
bless the rains)
G#m          E            B   
I bless the rains down in Africa (I 
F#
bless the rains)
G#m          E            B   
I bless the rains down in Africa 
F#
(down in Africa)
G#m              E          
Gonna take some time to do the 
    B              D#m F G#m B D#m
things we never had (ooh, ooh)
