AFRICA by ToTo

0:03 [Intro]  A   Dbm   A  Dbm   A  Dbm   A   Dbm 

       B        D#m             G#m 
0:24 I hear the drums echoing tonight
      G#m/F#        A/E                           G#m/F#      G#m       A   Dbm  
     But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

     She's coming in 12:30 flight
     The moonlit wings 
     reflect the stars that guides me towards Salvation

0:48 I stopped an old man along the way 
     hoping to find some 
     old forgotten words or ancient melody

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

     [Chorus]
     F#m           D               A       E  
1:09 Gonna take a lot to take me away from you
     There's nuthin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

     I've touched the rains down in Africa
     Gonna take the time to do the things we never had

     [Instrumental Interlude]

1:43 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 rises like a leporess
     above the Seringetti

     I seek to cure what's deep inside,
     frightened of this thing that I've become 

[Chorus]

2:16 Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nuthin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

I've touched the rains down in Africa
Gonna take the time to do the things we never had

2:50 [Instrumental Interlude]

3:05 Hurry boy she's waiting there for you

Gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nuthin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

3:22 I've touched the rains down in Africa
     I've touched the rains down in Africa
     I've touched the rains down in Africa
     I've touched the rains down in Africa
     I've touched the rains down in Africa

3:49 Gonna take the time to do the things we never had

[FADE]  4:28
