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


     F                      Am7              Em   F  Am
     Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion


G              Bm             Em
I stopped an old man along the way
G                   F             Am              Em   F Am
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies
G              B7       Em                 F                Am
He turned to me as if to say  hurry boy it's waiting there for you


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


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


     G         B7               Em
     I seek to cure what's deep inside


Em                 F               Am
Frightened of this thing that I've become


     Dm         Bb             F       C
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
