Africa by Quietdrive Guitar Chords
[Intro]
Gm------/F--D#----- (4x)
[Verse 1]
A# F/A Gm
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Cm A#/D D#-- F
But she only whispers of some quiet conversation
A# F/A Gm
She's coming on a 12:30 flight
Cm A#/D D#-- F
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me to salvation
A# F/A Gm
I stopped an old man along the way
Cm A#/D D#-- F
Hoping to find some forgotten words or ancient melodies
A# F/A Gm
He turned to me as if to say,
Cm A#/D - D# - F
"Hurry boys, it's waiting there for you!"
[Chorus]
Gm D# A# F/A
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm D# A# F/A
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm D# A#-- F/A
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# F---
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Instrumental (Similar to Intro)]
Gm------/F--D#----- (2x)
[Verse 2]
A# F/A Gm
The wild dogs cry out in the night
Cm A#/D D#-- F
As they grow restless for some solitary company
A# F/A Gm
I know that I must do what's right
Cm A#/D D#-- F
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises up of the Serengeti
A# F/A Gm
I seek to cure what's deep inside,
Cm A#/D - D# - F
Frightened by this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Gm D# A# F/A
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Gm D# A# F/A
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gm D# A#-- F/A
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gm D# A# F---
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Instrumental]
