{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
