Africa

A   C#m
C                   Em      Am
I hear the drums echoing tonight
C                 A#            Dm          Am    A# Dm
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion

C                Em            Am           C
She's coming in twelve thirty flight   the moonlit wings
A#                     Dm7               Am    A# Dm
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion

C              Em              Am
I stopped an old man along the way

C                    A#            Dm               Am    A#Dm
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melo-dies

C              Em        Am                  A#               Dm
He turned to me as if to say hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
Gm            D#              A#      F
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Gm                      D#            A#            F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm           D#          A# F
I bless the rains down in  Africa

Gm              D#              A#       Dm  F Gm   A#Dm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had

C             Em             Am
The wild dogs cry out in the night
C                     A#               Dm       Am    A# Dm
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny

C           Em               Am
I know that I must do what's right
C                      A#         Dm                Am     A# Dm
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

C         Em                 Am
I seek to cure what's deep inside

Am                 A#                  Dm
Frightened of this thing that I've become
Gm          D#            A#      F
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Gm                    D#            A#            F
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm         D#            A# F
I bless the rains down in  Africa

Gm            D#             A#       Dm  F Gm   A#Dm
Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had
[Interlude]

C   Em    Am    C   A#  Dm    Am     A#  Dm
C  E7   Am               A#             Dm
          hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
[OutroChorus]
