[Intro]
G Bm (x4)
[Verse 1]
A C#m F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
F#m/E G Bm7 F#m G Bm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
A C#m F#m
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
F#m/E G Bm7 F#m G Bm
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva - tion
A C#m F#m
I stopped an old man along the way
F#m/E G Bm7 F#m G Bm
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo - dies
A C#m F#m F#m/E G Bm
He turned to me as if to say - “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 Bm7 D Em D
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
G Bm
Ooo Ooo
G Bm
[Verse 2]
A C#m F#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
F#m/E G Bm7 F#m G Bm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
A C#m F#m
I know that I must do what's right
F#m/E G Bm7 F#m G Bm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Ser - engeti
A C#m F#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside
F#m/E G Bm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[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

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...

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
Em C G D
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…

Mike did a tutorial for his amazing rendition of this song as performed at that famous little pizzaria in Utah in 2010, hoping UG will do a pro version since many will probably agree that this is the definitive cover of Africa for guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_u55ai-dkk
