Africa Chords

B D#m G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
B/F# A/E
But she hears only whispers of
C#m G#m A G#m C#m
some quiet conversa – tion
B D#m G#m
She’s coming in twelve thirty flight
B/F# A/E
The moonlit wings reflect the stars
Bsus/F# G#m A G#m C#m
that guide me towards salva – tion

B D#m G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
B/F# A/E
Hoping to find some old forgotten
Bsus/F# G#m A G#m C#m
words or ancient melo – dies
B D#m G#m
He turned to me as if to say
A C#m
Hurry, boy, it’s waiting there for you!

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

B D#m G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
B/F# A/E
As they grow restless longing
Bsus/F# G#m A G#m C#m
for some solitary compa-ny
B D#m G#m
I know that I must do what’s right
B/F# A/E
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like
Bsus/F# G#m A G#m C#m
Olympus above the Ser – engeti
B D#m G#m
I seek to cure what’s deep inside
G#m A
Frightened of this thing that
C#m
I’ve become

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