Africa Toto

Keyboard intro : A G#m C#m

[B] I hear the drums [D#m7/Bb]echoin' to[G#m7]night.

[B/F#]She hears only [A/E]whispers of some [E/F#]quiet conver[Emaj7/G#]sation.

She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight.

Moonlight wings reflect the stars

That guide me toward salvation.

I stopped an old man along the way,

Hoping to find some old forgotten words,

Or ancient melodies.

[B] He turn to [D#m7/Bb]me as if to [G#m7]say,

"Hurry, boy, it's [A]waiting there for you."

[F#m] It's gonna take a [D]lot to drag me [A]away from [E]you,

[F#m] There's nothing that a [D]hundred men or [A]more could ever [E]do.

[F#m] I bless the [D]rains down in [A]Afri[E]ca,

[F#m] Gonna take some [D]time to do the [A]things we never [C#m]had. [E] [F#m] [E/G#] [A]

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,

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

I seem to cure what's deep inside,

Frightened of this thing that I've become.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.

I bless the rains down in Africa,

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.,

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.

I bless the rains down in Africa,

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
