Africa Toto
AFRICA - TOTO
A | C#m || x4
[B]I hear the drums [D#m7]echoin' to[G#m]night
[cb]G#m/F#[/cb] A/E E/F# E/G# A C#m
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B D#m7 G#m [cb]G#m/F#[/cb]
She's coming in twelve thirty flight the moonlit wings
Re[A/E]flect the stars that [E/F#]guide me toward sal[E/G#]va-tion[A] [C#m]
[B]I stopped an [D#m7]old man along the [G#m]way
[cb]G#m/F#[/cb] A/E E/F# E/G# A C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
[B]He turned to [D#m7]me as if to [G#m]say hurry boy it's [A]waiting there for yo[C#m]u
[F#m] Gonna take a [D]lot to drag me a[A]way 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] [C#m]
[B]The wild dogs [D#m7]cry out in the [G#m]night
[cb]G#m/F#[/cb] A/E E/F# E/G# A C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
[B]I know that [D#m7]I must do what's [G#m]right
[cb]G#m/F#[/cb] A/E E/F# E/G# A C#m
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serenge-ti
[B]I seek to [D#m7]cure what's deep in[G#m]side
[G#m]Frightened of this t[A]hing that I've becom[C#m]e
[F#m] Gonna take a [D]lot to drag me a[A]way 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] [C#m]

Notes: The chords are correct, I spent years playing the wrong bass notes before
learning them.
I've changed the line "she has only whispers" to "she hears" because it makes more
sense. Official lyrics have "she has". Enjoy.
