[Intro] A  G#m  C#m7

[Primera Parte]

B                F#          G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
     F#             A                C#m7       G#m  A  G#m  C#m7
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
B            F#               G#m
She's coming in twelve thirty flight
    F#                A                  C#m7
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards
   G#m  A  G#m  C#m7
Salvation
B            F#                G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
F#                  A             C#m7              G#m  A  G#m  C#m7
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
B            F#          G#m
He turned to me as if to say

[Pre-Chorus]

F#               A                 C#m7
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you!

[Chorus]

F#m               D              A          E  E4  E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                    D              A                E  E4  E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m         D             A    E  E4  E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m             D              A               C#m7  E  F#m  Ab
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

[Second Part]

B             F#             G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
F#                    A                C#m7     G#m  A  G#m  C#m7
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
B             F#             G#m
I know that I must do what's right
F#             A               C#m7              G#m    A  G#m  C#m7
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
B         F#               G#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside

[Pre-Chorus]

F#                  A              C#m7
Frightened of this thing that I've become

[Chorus]

F#m               D              A          E  E4  E
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
F#m                    D              A                E  E4  E
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
F#m         D             A    E  E4  E
I bless the rains down in Africa
F#m             D              A               C#m7  E  F#m  Ab
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

I bless the rains down in Africa
