Toto - África 

Intro: Bb - Dm 

C                    Em       Am
  I hear the drums echoing tonight

    C              Bb               Dm       Am    Bb - Dm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

C            Em          Am
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
 C                    Bb                  Dm                Am   Bb - Dm    
The moonlight rings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

C            Em                 Am
I stopped an old man along the way
 C                    Bb             Dm                Am      Bb - Dm
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
C       E7            Am    C             Bb                      Dm
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

Gm                Eb              Bb         F
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm                        Eb          Bb              F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm            Eb           Bb    F
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm               Eb              Bb            Dm - F - Gm-F 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Bb  - Dm

(The same chord progression is used for the second verse: The wild dogs cry out in the night...)
