G|-|-|-||-/F# Bm (x4)
A                         C#m       F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
F#m/E               G                         Bm7           F#m G|-|-|-||-/F# 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                        Bm7                         F#m G|-|-|-||-/F# 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                 Bm7                   F#m G|-|-|-||-/F# Bm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient mel-oh-dees
A                    C#m        F#m F#m/E          G|-|-|-||-/F# Bm . . . .
He turned to me as if to say hurry boy it's waiting there for you

{Refrain:
Em                  C                       G             D
Gonna take alot 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                     Bm   D     Em D
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaa aaaa aad oo}

G|-|-|-||-/F# Bm... .... .... .... .... (x2)

A                      C#m             F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
F#m/E                         G                       Bm7     F#m G|-|-|-||-/F# 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               Bm7                     F#m G|-|-|-||-/F# Bm
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|-   |-    |-     ||-/F# Bm . . . .
Frightened of this thing that I've become

[REFRAIN]
