[Intro] A  A9  C#m

B           F#/A#           G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
   G#m/F#          A/E              E/F#       E/G#   A9  (A  A9)  C#m
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B               F#/A#               G#m     G#m/F#
She's coming in 12:30 flight   the moonlit wings
   A/E                  E/F#              E/G#  A9  (A  A9)  C#m
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion

B            F#/A#             G#m
I stopped an old man along the way

G#m/F#               A/E           E/F#            E/G#   A9  (A  A9)  C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies

B            F#/A#       G#m                 A9            ( A  A9  C#m )
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy it's waiting there for you!"

F#m           D9             A9       E   E4 E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                     D9            A9             E   E4 E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m          D9             A9   E E4 E
I bless the rains down in   Africa
F#m             D9              A9              C#m E F#m E/G#
It's gonna take some time to do the things we never  had

( A  A9  C#m )

B        F#/A#               G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
G#m/F#                 A/E        E/F#          E/G#   A9  (A  A9)  C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
B           F#/A#            G#m
I know that I must do what's right
G#m/F#         A/E               E/F#             E/G#   A9  (A  A9)  C#m
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
B         F#/A#              G#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside
G#m/F#             A                 A9  ( A  A9   C#m )
Frightened of this thing that I've become

F#m           D9             A9       E   E4 E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                     D9            A9             E   E4 E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m          D9             A9   E E4 E
I bless the rains down in   Africa
F#m             D9              A9              C#m E F#m E/G#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had

         Hurry boy she's waiting there for you

F#m           D9             A9       E   E4 E
