Intro: A | C#m B |
B D#m G#m
I hear the drums echoing tonight
A C#m
But she hears only whispers of some quiet
G#m A C#m
conversation
B D#m G#m
She's coming in 12:30 flight
A C#m
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me
G#m A C#m
towards salvation
B D#m G#m
I stop to know that along the way
A C#m
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient
G#m A C#m
melodies
B D#m G#m
I stopped an old man along to say, "Hurry boy, it's
A

F#m D A

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