Africa - Toto(Chords)

	        
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  
waiting there for you'  
  
  
F#m                D              A         E  
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  
I bless the rains down in Africa  
F#m              D                A              
Gonna take some time to do the things we never  
Dbm  E  F#m  E  A  C#m  
had

  
B              D#m            G#m  
The wild dogs cry out in the night  
                         A              C#m  
As they grow restless longing for some solitary   
G#m  A  C#m  
company  
B           D#m               G#m  
I know that I must do what's right  
                         A          C#m       
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the  
G#m     A  C#m  
Serangetti  
B                D#m          G#m            
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of   
      A  
this thing that I've become  
  
  
(Refrão) - (Solo)  
  
G#m                A  
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you  
  
F#m                D              A        E  
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...
