Intro: G5 F#5 B5 x4
[A]I hear the drums [E/C#]echoing [F#m]tonight
But [E]she hears only [G/D]whispers of some [D/E]quiet conver[A]sation[G5] [F#5] [B5]
[A]Shes coming [E/C#]in 12:30 [F#m]flight
The [E]moonlit wings re[G/D]flect the stars that [D/E]guide me towards sal[A]vation[G5] [F#5] [B5]
[A]I stopped an [E/C#]old man along the [F#m]way
[E]Hoping to find some [G/D]long forgotten [D/E]words or ancient [A]melodies[G5] [F#5] [B5]
[A]He turned to [E/C#]me as if to [F#m]say, "Hurry boy, its [G5]waiting there for you!"[F#5] [B5]
[Em]It's gonna take a [C]lot to drag me a[G]way from [D]you
[Em]There's nothing that a [C]hundred men or [G]more could ever [D]do
[Em]I bless the [C]rains down in [G]Afri[D]ca
[Em]Gonna take some [C]time to do the [G]things we never [Bm7]had[D] [Em] [F#m]
Bridge: G5 F#5 B5 x2
[A]The wild dogs [E/C#]cry out in the [F#m]night
As [E]they grow restless [G/D]longing for some [D/E]solitary [A]company[G5] [F#5] [B5]
[A]I know that [E/C#]I must do what's [F#m]right
Sure as [E]Kilimanjaro [G/D]rises like O[E/D]lympus above the [A]Serengeti[G5] [F#5] [B5]
[A]I seek to [E/C#]cure what's deep in[F#m]side, frightened of this [G5]thing that I've become[F#5] [B5]
[Em]It's gonna take a [C]lot to drag me a[G]way from [D]you
[Em]There's nothing that a [C]hundred men or [G]more could ever [D]do
[Em]I bless the [C]rains down in [G]Afri[D]ca
[Em]Gonna take some [C]time to do the [G]things we never [Bm7]had[D] [Em] [F#m]

[Em]I bless the [C]rains down in [G]Afri[D]ca
[Em]I bless the [C]rains down in [G]Afri[D]ca
