Verse:
Bb        Dm    Gm7
I hear the drums echoing tonight
  Bb       Eb        F     Gm7   Ab  Cm
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa --tion
Bb      Dm         Gm7
 She’s coming in, twelve-thirty flight
  Bb       Eb          Ab        Gm7    Ab   Cm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva--tion
Bm      Dm       Gm7
I stopped an old man along the way
Bm         Ab       Fm       Gm7  Ab  Cm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
Bm      Dm     Gm7
He turned to me as if to say
Gm      Ab       Cm
Hurry boy its waiting there for you

Chorus:
   Fm      Db        Ab    Eb
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    Fm       Db        Ab       Eb
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Fm     Db      Ab  Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
Fm       Db       Ab       Cm Eb Fm Ab  Cm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave


Verse:
Bb      Db       Gm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
  Bm         Ab        Fm    Gm  Ab  Cm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
 Bm     Dm       Gm
I know that I must do what’s right
 Bm     Ab           Fm        Gm7  Ab  Cm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Seren-geti
 Bm    Dm       Gm7
I seek to cure what’s deep inside
Gm         Ab        Cm
Frightened of this thing that I’ve become


Chorus:
   Fm      Db        Ab    Eb
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    Fm       Db        Ab       Eb
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Fm     Db      Ab  Eb
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
Fm       Db       Ab       Cm Eb Fm Ab  Cm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave
