[G#m] [C#m] [B] She's coming [D#m] in twelve thirty [G#m] flight, [B] a moonlit wings [A] reflect the stars [E] that guide me towards salvation.

NotesBeta

To learn Toto - (Soundtrack from the Netflix Original Series) Africa chords, your practice should emphasize these chord progressions: E, F#m, D, A, C#m, A and F#m. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 46 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 93. Given the song's key of A Major, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
