B B Em Em Am Am
I hear the drums echoin tonight
B B A A Dbm Dbm Am Am Dbm Dbm
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B B Ebm Ebm Am Am B B
She's coming in twelve thirthy flight the moolight winds
A A Dbm Dbm Am Am Dbm Dbm
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
B B Em Em Am Am
I stopped an old man along the way
B B A A Dm Dm Am Am A A Dm Dm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies
B B Em Em Am Am A A Dbm Dbm
He turned to me as if to say hurry boy it's waiting there for you
Em Em C C G G D D
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em Em C C G G D D
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em Em C C G G D D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em Em C C G G D D E E C C G G D D
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

B B Em Em Am Am
The wild dogs cry out in the night
B B A A Dm Dm Am Am Dbm Dbm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
B B Em Em Am Am
I know that I must do what's right
B B A A Dbm Dbm Am Am Dbm Dbm
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like Olympus above the seranget-ti
B B Em Em Am Am
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Am Am A A Dbm Dbm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
Em Em C C G G D D
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em Em C C G G D D
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em Em C C G G D D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em Em C C G G D D E E C C G G D D
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

About this song: Africa

The song was included on their 1982 album Toto IV, and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1983 and number three on the UK Singles Chart the same month. The song was written by the band's keyboardist David Paich, who also sings both verses of the song, and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Bobby Kimball sings the chorus. The song almost cut from the Toto IV record prior to its release.
