[Intro 1]
[C][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I he[D]ar the
drums [F#m]echoing tonight
[Bm]But she is o[A]nly whis[C]pers
[G]of some quiet [C]conversation
[Em]She'[D]s coming in a[F#m]
twelve -thirty flight
[Bm]The moonlit wings re[A]flect the st[C]ars
[G]that guide me towards salvation
[C]I s[Em]toppe[D]d an old[F#m]
man along the [Bm]way,
[D]hoping to find [A]some [C]old
forgot[G]ten words,
or ancient melodies.
[C]He [Em]turne[D]d to me as[F#m] if to say,[Bm]
[D]hurry boy,
[A]it's wai[C]ting there for you[Em].
It's gonna take a lot
[C]to drag me away from [D]you
It's [Em]nothing that a [C]hundred men or more
could ever [D]do
I [Em]bless the [C]rains down [D]in Africa
It's gonna take some time
[C]to do the things we never had[D]
[C]Mm -mm -mm -m[Em]m -mm -mm
Mm [C]-mm -mm -mm [Em]-mm -mm
[D]The wild dogs [F#m]cry out in the [Bm]night
As they go rest[A]less long[C]ing for
[G]Some solitary [C]company
[Em]I kn[D]ow that I must[F#m] do what's right[Bm]
As sure as [D]Kiliman[A]jaro rises
[C]Lik[G]e Olympus above the Ser[Em]engeti
[C]I s[Em]eek t[D]o cure what's de[F#m]ep inside
[Bm]Frig[D]htened of this thing[C]
that I've [Em]become
It's gonna take a [C]lot
to drag me away [D]from you
It's [Em]nothing that [C]a hundred men or more
could ever [D]do
[Em]I bless the ra[C]ins down in [D]Africa
It's gonna take some time
[C]to do the things we never had[D][C][Em][D][G][C]
[Em][D]
[F#m][D][Bm][D][C][G][D][C]
[Em][D][F#m][Bm][C]
[D]It's gonna [Em]take a [C]lot to drag me away
From [D]you,
It's [Em]nothing that [C]a hundred men or more
could ever [D]do
I bless the [C]rains down [D]in Africa
I [Em]bless the [C]rains[D]
[Em]It's gonna take a [C]lot
to drag me away from [D]you
[Em]It's something that a
[C]hundred men or more
could [G]ever [D]do
[Em]I bless the rail[C]s that
go to [G]Africa[C][D]
[Em]It's gonna take some time
[C]to do the[G] things we never have you
