[Verse]
B          D#m7          G#m7   
I hear the drums echoing tonight
                   A                E     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#m7              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      F#m
I bless the rains down in ■ Africa ■  
                D              A                  
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
C#m E F#m E A C#m

[Verse]
B             D#m            G#m  
The wild dogs cry out in the night
                      A                E        Emaj7   A C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company ■ ■  
B                              G#m7 
■ I know that I must do what's right
                       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 E

■    ■    ■ ■    ■ ■ ■    ■   
                A                    
Hurry boy she'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
