Intro: A Abm Dbm (4x)
B F#/Eb Abm
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Abm/F# A/E E/F# B/Ab A Abm Dbm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
B F#/Eb Abm
She's coming in 12`:30 flight
Abm/F# A/E E/F# B/Ab A Abm Dbm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
B F#/Eb Abm
I stopped an old man along the way
Abm/F# A/E E/F# B/Ab A Abm Dbm
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
B F#/Eb Abm A Abm Dbm
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
F#m D A E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A A/B Db E F#m E/Ab
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
A Abm Dbm (4x)
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 seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
Refrain:
(Instrumental)
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
