[INTRO:  ]G Bm  
    
A                E        F#m  
I hear the drums echoing tonight  
A              G                Bm         F#m      G  Bm  
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversations  
A               E           F#m            
She's coming in twelve- thirty flight  
 A                G                      Bm               F#m       G Bm  
The moonlit winds reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation  
A            E               F#m  
I stopped an old man along the way  
A                    G            Bm               F#m      G Bm  
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies  
A             E          F#m                G                  Bm  
He turned to me as if to say Hurry boy it's waiting there for you  


[Refrão]
 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 Africa  
Em              C              G                 Bm D Em  G Bm  
Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had  
  
A             E           F#m  
The wild dogs cry out in the night  
A                     G                Bm        F#m     G Bm  
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company  
A            E             F#m  
I know that I must do what's right  
A                     G          Bm                 F#m     G Bm  
Sure as Kilimangiaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti  
A            E             F#m  
I seek to cure what's deep inside  
                   G                     Bm  
Frightened of this thing that I've become
