G* Bm G* Bm
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
G* Bm G* Bm
I stopped an old man along the way
G* Bm G* Bm
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
G* Bm G* Bm
He turned to me as if to say, ''Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you''
Em C G D
It's 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 Afr--ica
Em C G D
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
G* Bm G* Bm
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
As 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
Em C G D
It's 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 Afr--ica
Em C G D
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
G* Bm G* Bm
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Em C G D
It's 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 Afr--ica
I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa,
I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
