[INTRO]
G G/F# Bm x 4
[VERSE 1]
A C#m F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
F#m/E G Bm F#m G G/F# Bm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
A C#m F#m
Shes coming in 12:30 flight
F#m/E G Bm F#m G G/F# Bm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
A C#m F#m
I stopped an old man along the way
F#m/E G Bm F#m G G/F# Bm
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
A C#m F#m F#m/E G G/F# Bm
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, its waiting there for you!"
[CHORUS]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em7 Cadd9 G D
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em7 Cadd9 G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em7 Cadd9 G Bm D Em7 D/F# G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaad

G G/F# Bm x 2
[VERSE 2]
A C#m F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
F#m/E G Bm F#m G G/F# Bm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
A C#m F#m
I know that I must do what's right
F#m/E G Bm F#m G G/F# Bm
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
A C#m F#m F#m/E G G/F# Bm
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
[CHORUS]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em7 Cadd9 G D
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em7 Cadd9 G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em7 Cadd9 G Bm7 D Em7 D/F# G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
