[Verse 1]
B Ebm Abm
I hear the drums echoing tonight
B A C#m Abm A C#m
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
B Ebm Abm B
She's coming in twelve thirty flight the moonlit wings
A C#m7 Abm A C#m
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
B Ebm Abm
I stopped an old man along the way
B A C#m Abm A C#m
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
B Ebm Abm A C#m
He turned to me as if to say hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A
Gonna take some time to do the things we never
C#m E F#m E
haaaaaaaaaaaad

[Verse 2]
B Ebm Abm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
B A C#m Abm A C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
B Ebm Abm
I know that I must do what's right
B A C#m Abm A C#m
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
B Ebm Abm
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Abm A C#m
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A
Gonna take some time to do the things we never
