I hear the drums echo into night.
               G                   D
She hears only whispers of some quiet
     A     G	F#m	Bm 
conversation.

She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight.
Moonlight wings reflect the stars
That guide me toward salvation.

I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words,
Or ancient melodies.
A          C#m7         F#m7 
He turn to me as if to say,
                 G 
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you.

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          Bm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
[D]    [Em]       [D/F#]         [G]

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 seem 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.
