Africa - Toto (E Flat Tuning)
[Intro]
A#,C,Dm x4 [Play C as A passing chord]
[Verse]
C Em7 Am
V1 I hear the drums echoing tonight
Em7 A# Dm C Intro Chords x1
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
C Em7 Am
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Em7 A# Dm C Intro Chords x1
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
C Em7 Am
I stopped an old man along the way
Em7 A# Dm C Intro Chords x1
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
C Em7 Am Em7 Intro Chords x1
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
[Chorus]
Gm D# A# F
Ch It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm D# A# F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm D# A# F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# Dm F Gm F, Intro Chords x2
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Verse]
C Em7 Am
V2 The wild dogs cry out in the night
Em7 A# Dm C Intro Chords x1
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
C Em7 Am
I know that I must do what's right
Em7 A# Dm C Intro Chords x1
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
C Em7 Am Em7 A# C Dm
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
Repeat Chorus
