Lyrics Toto - Africa
[Intro]
A G#m C#m A G#m C#m A G#m C#m A G#m C#m
[Verse 1]
B D#m7 G#m7
I hear the drums echoing tonight,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa__tion.
B D#m7 G#m7
She’s coming in twelvethirty flight,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva__tion.
B D#m7 G#m7
I stopped an old man along the way,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient me lodies.
B D#m7 G#m7
He turned to me as if to say
[Chorus]
A G#m C#m F#m D A E
“Hurry, boy, it’s waiting there for you. It’s 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 E/G#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
[Intrelude]
A G#m C#m A G#m C#m
[Verse 2]
B D#m7 G#m7
The wild dogs cry out in the night,
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company.
B D#m7 G#m7
I know that I must do what’s right
B/F# A/E E/F# G#m7 A G#m C#m
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
B D#m7 G#m7
I seek to cure what’s deep inside.
[Chorus]
A G#m C#m F#m D A E
Frightened of this thing that I’ve become. It’s 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 E/G#
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
