Toto - Africa Akor

A C#m

C Em Am

I hear the drums echoing tonight

C A# Dm Am A# Dm

She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion

C Em Am C

She's coming in twelve thirty flight the moonlit wings

A# Dm7 Am A# Dm

Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion

C Em Am

I stopped an old man along the way

C A# Dm Am A#Dm

Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melo-dies

C Em Am A# Dm

He turned to me as if to say hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

Gm D# A# F

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Gm D# A# F

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# Dm F Gm A#Dm

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

C Em Am

The wild dogs cry out in the night

C A# Dm Am A# Dm

As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny

C Em Am

I know that I must do what's right

C A# Dm Am A# Dm

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

C Em Am

I seek to cure what's deep inside

Am A# Dm

Frightened of this thing that I've become

Gm D# A# F

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Gm D# A# F

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# Dm F Gm A#Dm

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

C Em Am C A# Dm Am A# Dm

C E7 Am A# Dm

hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

[OutroChorus]

Gm D# A# F

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Gm D# A# F

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# F

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gm D# A# Dm F Gm A#Dm

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
