[Intro]

Fmaj7 Em Am Fmaj7 Em Am
[Verse 1]
G D Em
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Em Am
but she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa tion.
G D Em
She's coming in twelve thirty flight,
Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Em Am
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva tion.
G D Em
I stopped an old man along the way,
Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Em Am
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo dies.
G D Em Fmaj7 Em Am
He turned to me as if to say "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you.
[Chorus]
Dm Bb F C
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,
Dm Bb F C
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
Dm Bb F C
I bless the rains down in A frica.
Dm Bb F Am C Dm C
Gonna take some time to do the things we never ha a ad.
[Interlude]
Fmaj7 Em Am Fmaj7 Em Am
[Verse 2]
G D Em
The wild dogs cry out in the night
Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Em Am
as they grow restless longing for some solitary compa ny.
G D Em
I know that I must do what's right
Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Em Am
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serenge ti.
G D Em Fmaj7 Em Am
I seek to cure what's deep inside. Frightened of this thing that I've become.
[Chorus]
Dm Bb F C
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,
Dm Bb F C
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
Dm Bb F C
I bless the rains down in A frica.
Dm Bb F Am C Dm C
Gonna take some time to do the things we never ha a ad.
