[A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
[B] I hear the [F#] drums echoing [G#m] tonight, [B] and she hears [A] only whispers of [E] some quiet [G#m] conversation.
_ [A] _ _
[G#m] _ [C#m] _ [B] She's coming [D#m] in 1235, [G#m] _
[B] the moonlit wings [A] reflect the stars [G#m] that guide me towards _ [A] salvation.
_ [G#m] _ [C#m] _ [B] I stopped [F#] and no man along [G#m] the way, [B] hoping to find [A] some old forgotten [E] words,
or ancient _ [A] melodies.
[C#m] _ [B] He turned [D#m] to me as if [G#m] to say,
hurry boy, [A] it's waiting there for [C#m] you.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] Gotta take [D] the last to drag [A] me away [E] from you.
[F#m] There's nothing [D] that a hundred men [A] or more could
[E] ever do.
[F#m] Fight the [D] rains down [A] in [E] Africa, _ [F#m] but it takes [D] some time to do [A] the things we [C#m] never [E] had. _
[F#m] _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ [B] The wild [D#m] dogs cry out in [G#m] the night, as they grow restless [A] longing for [E] some solitary _ [A] company.
_ [G#m] _ [C#m] _ [B] I know [F#] that I must do [G#m] what's right, sure as Kilimanjaro [A] rises like [E] a lilac above the _ [A] Serengeti.
[G#m] _ [C#m] _ [B] I seek [F#] to cure what's deep [G#m] inside, frightened of [A] this thing that I've [G#m] become.
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Gotta [D] take the last to drag [A] me away [E] from you.
[F#m] There's [D] nothing that a hundred men [A] or more could [E] ever do.
_ [F#m] I [D] guess the rains [A] down in [E] Africa, _ [F#m] but it [D] takes some time to do [A] the things we [C#m] never [E] had. _
[F#m] _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _

[G#m] Yeah.
Hurry _ boy, [A] she's waiting there for [C#m]
you.
_ _ _ [F#m] Gotta [D] take the last to [A] drag me away [E] from you.
_ [F#m] There's [D] nothing that a hundred [A] men or more could [E] ever do.
_ [F#m] I [D] guess the rains [A] down in [E] Africa.
_ [F#m] I [D] guess the rains [A] down in Africa.
_ [F#m] I [D] guess the rains [A] down in [E] Africa.
_ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] But [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [F#m] it [D] takes some time to [A] do the things we [C#m] never had.
