B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
F# F# A/D A/D E/E E/E B B A A G# G# C# C#
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m
Shes coming in 12:30 flight
F# F# A/D A/D E/E E/E B B A A G# G# C# C#
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
F# F# A/D A/D E/E E/E B B A A G# G# C# C#
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m A A G# G# C# C#
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, its waiting there for you!"

F#m F#m D D A A E E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m F#m D D A A E E

F#m F#m D D A A E E
I bless the rains down in Africa

B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
F# F# A/D A/D E/E E/E B B A A G# G# C# C#
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m
I know that I must do what's right
F# F# A/D A/D F#/D F#/D B B A A G# G# C# C#
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
B B F#/C# F#/C# G#m G#m A A G# G# C# C#
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

F#m F#m D D A A E E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m F#m D D A A E E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m F#m D D A A E E
I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
