[A] [G#m] [C#m]

[Verse]
[B]I hear the drums ech[D#m]oing ton[G#m]ight
[B/F#]She hears only whi[A/E]spers of some [C#m]quiet conver[G#m]sa - t[A]io[G#m]n [C#m]
[B]She's coming in, t[D#m]welve thirty f[G#m]light
[B/F#]The moonlit wings [A/E]reflect the stars that [C#m7]guide me toward sa[G#m]lva-ti[A]on [G#m] [C#m]
[B]I stopped an ol[D#m]d man along the [G#m]way
[B/F#]Hoping to find some [A/E]long forgotten [C#m]words or ancient [G#m]melo-d[A]ie[G#m]s [C#m]
[B]He turned to me[D#m] as if to [G#m]say “hurry boy, it's [A]waiting there for[C#m] you”

[Chorus]
[F#m]Gonna take a lot to [D]drag me a[A]way from [E]you
[F#m]There's nothing that a h[D]undred men or [A]more could ever [E]do       
[F#m]I bless the r[D]ains down in[A]  Af[E]rica

[Ver[A]se[G#m]] [C#m]
[B]The wild dogs [D#m]cry out in the [G#m]night
[B/F#]As they grow restless [A/E]longing for some [C#m]solitary [G#m]compa-[A]ny [G#m] [C#m]
[B]I know that [D#m]I must do what's [G#m]right
[B/F#]As sure as Kilimanjaro [A/E]rises like [C#m]Olympus above the [G#m]Serenge[A]ti [G#m] [C#m]
[B]I seek to [D#m]cure what's deep in[G#m]side
[G#m]Frightened of this [A]thing that I've beco[C#m]me

[Chorus]
It’s [F#m]gonna take a lot to [D]drag me a[A]way from [E]you
[F#m]There's nothing that a h[D]undred men or [A]more could ever [E]do

[F#m]Gonna take some [D]time to do the t[A]hings we never [C#m]had.[E].. [F#m]
