G*                       Bm          G*  Bm 
I hear the drums echoing tonight 
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation 
She's coming in 12:30 flight 
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation 
G*                       Bm          G*  Bm 
I stopped an old man along the way 
G*                       Bm          G*  Bm 
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies 
G*                       Bm          G*  Bm 
He turned to me as if to say, ''Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you'' 
 
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 Afr--ica 
Em              C              G               D 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had 
 
G*                           Bm       G*  Bm 
The wild dogs cry out in the night 
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company 
I know that I must do what's right 
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti 
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become 
 
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 Afr--ica 
Em              C              G               D 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had 
 
G*                                 Bm      G*  Bm 
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you 
 
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 Afr--ica 
I passed some rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa, 
I passed some rains down in Africa 
 
I bless the rains down in Africa 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
