Toto - Africa: chords

B                  D#m     G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
B/F#             A/E            C#m
She hears only whispers of some quiet
    G#m  A G#m C#m
conversation
B                D#m           G#m
She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
        B/F#        A/E                  Bsus/F#
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me
         G#m A G#m C#m
toward salvation

B            D#m               G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
       B/F#         A/E           Bsus/F#
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or
        G#m  A  G#m C#m
ancient melodies
B            D#m         G#m
He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy,
      A                  C#m
it's waiting there for you”

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

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some
solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

Chorus

B D#7 G#m                   A                 C#m
         “hurry boy, she's waiting there for you”

Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothin' that a hundred men or
more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
We're gonna take some time to do
the things we never had
Ooh-hoo
