[Intro]
A C#m x4
[Verse 1]
B D#m G#m
I hear the drums echoin 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 moolight winds
A C#m7 G#m A C#m
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
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 melo-dies
B D#m 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 compa-ny
B D#m G#m
I know that I must do what's right
B A C#m G#m A C#m
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like olimpus above the seranget-ti
B D#m 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
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
B Eb7 G#m A C#m
hurry boy it's waiting there for you
[Outro/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 E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa
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
