Africa
(capo 2nd fret)
[Intro]
G Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm
[Verse 1]
A C#m F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
A C#m F#m
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
A C#m F#m
I stopped an old man along the way
F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
A C#m F#m
He turned to me as if to say
F#m/E G Bm
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
Em C G D
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em C G D
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em C G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em C G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never
Bm D Em D G Bm
Had oo, ooo

G Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm
[Verse 2]
A C#m F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
A C#m F#m
I know that I must do what's right
F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
A C#m F#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside...
F#m/E G Bm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Em C G D
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Em C G D
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Em C G D
I bless the rains down in Africa
Em C G
Gonna take some time to do the things we never
Bm D Em D G Bm
Had oo, ooo...
