[Verse]
B          D#m7          G#m7   
I hear the drums echoing tonight
                   A                E     G#m7         A C#m7
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation ■ ■   
B            D#m7             G#m7  
She's coming in twelve:thirty flight
    G#m     F#m7  A                      G#m              A        
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
B            D#m               G#m7
I stopped an old man along the way 
                    A             E                A        Amaj7
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies ■    
C#m B            D#m7        G#m7 G#m            A                    
■   He turned to me as if to say  Hurry boy it's waiting there for you


[Chorus]
C#m  F#m          D              A         E  
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                    D              A               E  F#m
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do ■  
            D          A  E     
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m             D              A               C#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
E F#m A C#m C#m7 A C#m7
■ ■   ■ ■   ■    ■ ■   


[Verse]
B             D#m            G#m  
The wild dogs cry out in the night
                      A                E        F#m7 A       C#m7
As they grow restless longing for some solitary ■    company ■   
B             D#m7             G#m7 
■ I know that I must do what's right
           G#m         A                            E         A 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
                   A               C#m   
Frightened of this thing that I've become


[Chorus]
F#m               D              A         E  
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                  D                A               E  F#m
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do ■  
            D             A E     
I bless the rains down in ■ Africa
F#m             D              A               C#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
