Toto é uma banda de rock progressivo norte-americana, formada em 1976 em Los Angeles, que cantou clássicos como Rosanna e Africa.
O Toto iniciou-se em Los Angeles em 1978, com a formação: David Paich (teclados e vocal), Steve Lukather (guitarra, vocal), Bobby Kimball (vocal), Steve Porcaro (teclado), David Hungate (baixo) e Jeff Porcaro (bateria). Os Irmãos Porcaro são filhos do percussionista Joe Porcaro. Os outros membros da banda conheceram-se na faculdade e em sessões de estúdio, na década de 70, quando formaram a banda.

LET IT BE CLEAR, I'M NOT BASING THIS TAB OFF ANY KNOWN PERFORMANCE OF THE SONG. IT IS SIMPLY HOW I'VE PERSONALLY TRANSCRIBED IT AND FIND IT MUSICALLY ACCEPTABLE IN RESPECTS TO THE ORIGINAL.
THE CAPO WAS MY OWN IDEA. ALL THE CHORD NAMES REFER TO THE FINGERINGS/POSITIONS, AS IF THEY WERE OPEN. SO WHEN I SAY F#5, ITS 244XXX STARTING AT THE CAPO BEING OPEN.
PLEASE CONSIDER ALL THIS BEFORE RATING/COMMENTING.
