[Capo: 2nd]
Intro: F Em Am7 } 4x
G Bm7 Em7
1. I hear the drums echoing tonight
G/D F/C C/D Em7 F Em Am7
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
G Bm7 Em7
She's coming in, 12: 30 flight
G/D F/C C/D Em7 F Em Am7
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
G Bm7 Em7
I stopped an old man along the way
G/D F/C C/D Em7 F Em Am7
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
G Bm7 Em7
He turned to me as if to say:
Em7 F Em Am7
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
Refrain:
Dm Bb F C
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you.
Dm Bb F C
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
Dm Bb F C
I bless the rains down in Africa.
Dm Bb F Am C Dm C/E
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
F Em Am7 } 2x
G Bm7 Em7
2. The wild dogs cry out in the night
G/D F/C C/D Em7 F Em Am7
they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
G Bm7 Em7
I know that I must do what's right
G/D F/D C/D Em7 F Em Am7
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus over the Serengeti
G Bm7 Em7
I seek to cure what's deep inside,
F Em Am7
frightened of this thing that I've become.
Refrain:
Dm Bb F C
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you.
Dm Bb F C
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
Dm Bb F C
I bless the rains down in Africa.
Dm Bb F Am C Dm C/E
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
F Em Am7 } repeat and fade out
