B B                   Ebm Ebm     Abm Abm
I hear the drums echoin tonight
B B               A A             Dbm Dbm         Abm Abm   A A  Dbm Dbm
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B B                Ebm Ebm           Abm Abm          B B
She's coming in twelve thirthy flight   the moolight winds

     Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
B B              Ebm Ebm             Abm Abm
I stopped an old man along the way
B B                   A A             Dbm Dbm              Abm Abm   A A Dbm Dbm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies

The wild dogs cry out in the night
B B            A A                    Dbm Dbm            Abm Abm   A A  Dbm Dbm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
B B          Ebm Ebm               Abm Abm
I know that I must do what's right
B B                     A A          Dbm Dbm                  Abm Abm   A A  Dbm Dbm
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like olimpus above the seranget-ti
     B B         Eb7 Eb7               Abm Abm
     I seek to cure what's deep inside
Abm Abm                 A A               Dbm Dbm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
     Gbm Gbm         D D             A A       E E
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
