[Intro]
Ab Cm
[Verse]
Bb Dm Gm7
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Bb Eb F Gm7 Ab Cm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa --tion
Bb Dm Gm7
She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight
Bb Eb Ab Gm7 Ab Cm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva--tion
Bm Dm Gm7
I stopped an old man along the way
Bm Ab Fm Gm7 Ab Cm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
Bm Dm Gm7
He turned to me as if to say
Gm Ab Cm
Hurry boy its waiting there for you
[Chorus]
Fm Db Ab Eb
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Fm Db Ab Eb
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Fm Db Ab Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
Fm Db Ab Cm Eb Fm Ab Cm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave
[Verse]
Bb Db Gm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
Bm Ab Fm Gm Ab Cm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
Bm Dm Gm
I know that I must do what's right
Bm Ab Fm Gm7 Ab Cm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Seren-geti
Bm Dm Gm7
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Gm Ab Cm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Fm Db Ab Eb
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Fm Db Ab Eb
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Fm Db Ab Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
Fm Db Ab Cm Eb Fm Ab Cm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave
[Outro]
Fm Db Ab Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
repeat
