Africa Tab

by Toto



This is a cross between Toto and Howie Day. Great song on acoustic with finger picking
and strumming. The verses are Toto and the chorus is Howie Day, I think it just sounds
amazing.

I hear the drums echoin tonight
                                          
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
                                     
She's coming in twelve thirthy flight   the moolight winds
                                         
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
                           
I stopped an old man along the way
                                                  
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies
                                                      
He turned to me as if to say  hurry boy it's waiting there for you
                                *       
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
                                       *             
     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       
                              *   
     I bless the rains down in   Africa
                                 *                   * 
     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 compa-ny
                         
I know that I must do what's right
                                                     
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like Olympus above the seranget-ti
                               
     I seek to cure what's deep inside
                                 
Frightened of this thing that I've become
                                 *       
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
                                       *             
     There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       
                              *   
     I bless the rains down in   Africa
                                 *                   * 
     Gonna take some time to do the things we never  had

               hurry boy it's waiting there for you
                                *       
     Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
