Keyboard intro : A G#m C#m
[B] I hear the drums [D#m7/Bb]echoin' to[G#m7]night.
[B/F#]She hears only [A/E]whispers of some [E/F#]quiet conver[Emaj7/G#]sation.
She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight.
Moonlight wings reflect the stars
That guide me toward salvation.
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words,
Or ancient melodies.
[B] He turn to [D#m7/Bb]me as if to [G#m7]say,
"Hurry, boy, it's [A]waiting there for you."
[F#m] It's gonna take a [D]lot to drag me [A]away from [E]you,
[F#m] There's nothing that a [D]hundred men or [A]more could ever [E]do.
[F#m] I bless the [D]rains down in [A]Afri[E]ca,
[F#m] Gonna take some [D]time to do the [A]things we never [C#m]had. [E] [F#m] [E/G#] [A]
The wild dogs cry out in the night.
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company.
I know that I must do what's right,
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
I seem to cure what's deep inside,
Frightened of this thing that I've become.
It's 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, she's waiting there for you
It's 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,
I bless the rains down in Africa,
I bless the rains down in Africa,
I bless the rains down in Africa,
I bless the rains down in Africa,
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TOTO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
