Africa – TOTO
[Intro]
A C#m x4
[Verse 1]
B D#m G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
B A C#m G#m A C#m
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B D#m G#m B
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight, the moonlit winds
A C#m7 G#m A C#m
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation
B D#m G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
B A C#m G#m A C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melodies
B D#7 G#m A C#m
He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy it's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A C#m E F#m A C#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Verse 2]
B D#m G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
B A C#m G#m A C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
B D#m G#m
I know that I must do what's right
B A C#m G#m A C#m
As sure as Kilimangaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
B D#7 G#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside
G#m A C#m
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A C#m E F#m A C#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Instrumental]
B D#m G#m B A C#m G#m A C#m
B D#7 G#m A C#m
hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m D A E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa (repeat x4)
F#m D A C#m E F#m A C#m
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

what's the strumming pattern?
+1

Awesome job. But the intro should be A (2104) G#m (1342) C#m (6447)

I recommend tuning down a half step then transposing up one, the chords are easier in my opinion
