[Verse 1]
H D#m G#m I hear the drums echoing tonight H/F# A/E C#m G#m A G#m C#m She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion H D#m G#m She's coming in, twelve thirty flight B/F# A/E C#m7 G#m A G#m C#m The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion H D#m G#m I stopped an old man along the way H/F# A/E C#m G#m A G#m C#m Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies H D#m G#m A C#m He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, 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 E There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do F#m D A E I bless the rains down in Africa F#m D A C#m E F#m E A Gonna take some time to do the things we never had... A G#m C#m Ooo Ooo A G#m C#m
