I hear the drums echoin tonight
D               C             Em         Bm   C  Em
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
D                Gbm           Bm          D
She's coming in twelve thirthy flight   the moolight winds


     C                      Em7              Bm   C  Em
     Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion


D              Gbm             Bm
I stopped an old man along the way
D                   C             Em              Bm   C Em
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies
D              Gb7       Bm                 C                Em
He turned to me as if to say  hurry boy it's waiting there for you


     Am           F               C       G
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
     Am                     F             C             G
     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 
     Am          F              C   G
     I bless the rains down in   Africa
     Am             F               C        Em G Am  C Em
     Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had


D                 Gbm         Bm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
D            C                    Em            Bm   C  Em
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
D          Gbm               Bm
I know that I must do what's right
D                     C          Em                  Bm   C  Em
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like olimpus above the seranget-ti


     D         Gb7               Bm
     I seek to cure what's deep inside


Bm                 C               Em
Frightened of this thing that I've become


     Am         F             C       G
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
