INTRO:
G Bm
A C#m F#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A G Bm F#m G Bm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversations
A C#m 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 C#m 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 C#m F#m G Bm
He turned to me as if to say hurry boy it's waiting there for you
CHORUS:
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...
G Bm
Ooo Ooo
G Bm
VERSE:
A C#m 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 C#m 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 C#m F#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside
G Bm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
CHORUS:
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...
G Bm
Ooo Ooo
G Bm
CHORUS:
Em C G D

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
Em C G D
I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

This is pretty darn close FooFighters.
The only difference is that he does some nifty pick tricks... he doesn't just strum the strings... listen again.
