AFRICA - TOTO
 
[Intro]
 
A | C#m || x4
 
[Verse 1]
 
B                D#m7      G#m
I hear the drums echoin' tonight
B/F#         A/E              E/F#        Emaj7/G# A G#(bass note only)C#m
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
B            D#m7             G#m          B/F#
She's coming in twelve thirty flight   the moonlit wings
       A/E                  E/F#               Emaj7/G#   A  G# C#m
     Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
B            D#m7              G#m
I stopped an old man along the way
B/F#              A/E            E/F#            Emaj7/G# A  G# C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
B            D#m7        G#m                 A                   G# C#m
He turned to me as if to say  hurry boy it's waiting there for you
 
 
[Hook]
 
   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 Emaj7/G# (A G# C#m) x2
     Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
B             D#m7           G#m
The wild dogs cry out in the night
   B/F#             A/E              E/F#     Emaj7/G#  A  G# C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
B           D#m7             G#m
I know that I must do what's right
        B/F#      A/E         E/F#             Emaj7/G#    A  G# C#m
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serenge-ti
     B         D#m7               G#m
     I seek to cure what's deep inside
G#m                 A                   G# C#m
Frightened of this thing that I've become

     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
   F#m           D               A   E
     I bless the rains down in   Africa
