[Verse 1]
D F#m Bm
I hear the drums echoing tonight
D C Em Bm C G Em
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
D F#m Bm
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
D C Em Bm C G Em
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
D F#m Bm
I stopped an old man along the way
D C Em Bm C G Em
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
D F#m Bm C G Em
He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
[Chorus]
Am F C G Gsus4 G
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Am F C G Gsus4 G
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Am F C G Gsus4 G
I bless the rains down in Africa
Am F C Em G Am
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
G C G Em
Ooo Ooo
C G Em
[Verse 2]
D F#m Bm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
D C Em Bm C G Em
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
D F#m Bm
I know that I must do what's right
D C Em Bm C G Em
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
D F#m Bm
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Bm C G Em
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Am F C G Gsus4 G
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Am F C G Gsus4 G
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Am F C G Gsus4 G
I bless the rains down in Africa
Am F C Em G Am
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
G C G Em
Ooo Ooo

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa
