B D#m7 G#m
|
|
I hear the drums echoing tonight
|
|
G#m/F# A/E
|
|
But she hears only whispers
|
|
F#4
|
|
Of some quiet
|
|
G#m7 A G#m C#m7 B

|
Conversation
|
|
B D#m7 G#m
|
|
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
|
|
G#m/F# A/E
|
|
The moonlit wings reflect
|
|
F#4
|
|
The stars that guide me
|
|
G#m7 A G#m C#m7 B
|
|
Towards salvation
|
|
B D#m7 G#m
|
|
I stopped an old man along the way
|
|
G#m/F# A/E
|
|
Hoping to find some old forgotten
|
|
F#4 G#m7 A G#m C#m7
|
|
Words or ancient melodies
|
|
B D#m7 G#m
|
|
He turned to me as if to say
|
|
G#m A
|
|
"Hurry boy, it's waiting
|
|
G#m C#m7 F#m
|
|
There for you"
|
|
F#m Dadd9
|
|
It's gonna take a lot to
|
|
A E F#m
|
|
Drag me away from you
|
|
F#m Dadd9
|
|
There's nothing that a hundred
|
|
A E F#m
|
|
Men or more could ever do
|
|
F#m Dadd9
|
|
I bless the rains down in
|
|
A E F#m
|
|
Africa
|
|
F#m Dadd9
|
|
Gonna take some time to do
|
|
A C#m7 E F#m
|
|
The things we never haaaad
|
|
G#m A
|
|
Ooh ooh)

B D#m7 G#m
|
|
The wild dogs cry out in the night
|
|
G#m/F#
|
|
As they grow restless
|
|
A/E
|
|
Longing for some
|
|
F#4 G#m7 A G#m C#m7
|
|
Solitary company
|
|
B D#m7 G#m
|
|
I know that I must do what's right
|
|
G#m/F# A/E
|
|
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises
|
|
F#4
|
|
Like Olympus above
|
|
G#m A G#m C#m7 B
|
|
The Serengeti
|
|
B D#m7 G#m
|
|
I seek to cure what's deep inside
|
|
G#m A
|
|
Frightened of this thing
|
|
G#m C#m7
|
|
That I've become
|
|
F#m Dadd9
|
|
It's gonna take a lot to
