Africa
{Intro x6}
[A G#m C#m]{*}
[B D#m G#m]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
[B/F# A/E C#m G#m (A G#m C#m)]
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
[B D#m G#m]
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
[B/F# A/E C#m7 G#m (A G#m C#m)]
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
[B D#m G#m]
I stopped an old man along the way
[B/F# A/E C#m G#m (A G#m C#m)]
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
[B D#m G#m (A G#m 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 C#m E]
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
[F#m E (A G#m C#m)]
Ooo Ooo
[(A G#m C#m) ]
[B D#m G#m]
The wild dogs cry out in the night
[B/F# A/E C#m G#m (A G#m C#m)]
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
[B D#m G#m]
I know that I must do what's right
[B/F# A/E C#m G#m (A G#m C#m)]
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
[B D#m G#m]
I seek to cure what's deep inside
[(G#m A C#m)]
Frightened of this thing that I've become
{CHORUS}
{BRIDGE}
[B D#m G#m
B A C#m (A G#m C#m)
B D#m G#m
(G#m A C#m)]
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you”
{OUTRO}
[F#m D A E]
It’s 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 E]
I bless the rains down in Africa ("I bless the rains!")
[F#m D A E]
I bless the rains down in Africa ("Ohhhhh I bless the rains!")
[F#m D A E]
I bless the rains down in Africa
[F#m D A E]
I bless the rains down in Africa ("I bless the rains!")
[F#m D A C#m E]
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
[F#m E (A G#m C#m)]
Ooo Ooo
