CAPO II
G F#m Bm (x4)
A C#m F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A/E G/D Bm F#m G F#m-Bm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
A C#m F#m
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
A/E G/D Bm7 F#m G F#m-Bm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation
A C#m F#m
I stopped an old man along the way
A/E G/D Bm F#m G F#m-Bm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
A C#m F#m
He turned to me as if to say
G F#m-Bm
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
CHORUS
Em C G D
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 D Em
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
G F#m Bm
Ooo Ooo
G F#m Bm
A C#m F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
A/E G/D Bm F#m G F#m-Bm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
A C#m F#m
I know that I must do what's right
A/E G/D Bm F#m G F#m-Bm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
A C#m F#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside
G F#m-Bm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
CHORUS
A C#m F#m A G Bm F#m G F#m Bm A C#7
F#m G F#m-Bm
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Em C G D
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 (x6)
Em C G Bm D Em
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
G F#m Bm
Ooo Ooo
G F#m Bm
