Africa Toto

Intro and Vamp: F / Em Am7 (2x)

G Bm7 Em7 G/D F/C C/D CM7/E F Em Am7

I hear the drums echoing tonight / She hears only whispers of some quiet conver – sa - tion

G Bm7 Em7 G/D F/C C/D CM7/E F Em Am7

She’s coming in 12:30 flight / Moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide her towards sal – va - tion

G Bm Em7 G/D F/C C/D CM7/E F Em Am7

I stopped an old man along the way / Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient mel - o - dies

G Bm7 Em7 F Em Am7

He turned to me as if to say, “Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you”

Dm Bb F C

It’s gonna take a lot to drag me a - way from you

Dm Bb F C

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

Dm Bb F C

I bless the rains down in A – fri - ca

Dm Bb F Am7 C Dm C/E

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

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 / As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti

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