[Intro]
A G#m C#m A G#m C#m A G#m C#m A G#m C#m
[Verse 1]
B D#m7 G#m7
I hear the drums echoing tonight,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa__tion.
B D#m7 G#m7
She's coming in twelvethirty flight,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva__tion.
B D#m7 G#m7
I stopped an old man along the way,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient me lodies.
B D#m7 G#m7
He turned to me as if to say
[Chorus]
A G#m C#m F#m D A E
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa.
F#m D A C#m E F#m E/G#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
[Intrelude]
A G#m C#m A G#m C#m
[Verse 2]
B D#m7 G#m7
The wild dogs cry out in the night,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company.
B D#m7 G#m7
I know that I must do what's right
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
B D#m7 G#m7
I seek to cure what's deep inside.
[Chorus]
A G#m C#m F#m D A E
Frightened of this thing that I've become. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa.
F#m D A C#m E F#m E/G#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,

F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa.

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
