Africa Live Ukulele tab

	  I'm just finishing what Adam started.  Hopefully I'm not too far off. 
 
Just like in the original by Todo, there is a motif-like  
part which is basically the intro to the song.  Through  
the second line of a verse he goes into it if you listen. 
I'll just put this three chord part in parenthesis and then  
it's just a matter of getting the rhythm down.

A                Dbm        Gbm 
I hear the drums echoing tonight                         
A                  G                 Bm        Gbm   (G Gbm Bm)  
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation 
A                Dbm        Gbm 
She's coming in 12:30 flight 
A                  G                 Bm        Gbm   (G Gbm Bm)  
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation 
A                Dbm        Gbm 
I stopped an old man along the way 
A                  G                 Bm        Gbm   (G Gbm Bm)  
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies 
G*                       Bm          G*  Bm 
He turned to me as if to say, ''Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you'' 
 
(this is me agreeing with adam... kinda) 
 
Em              C                G         D 
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 
Em                     C              G               D 
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 
Em          C             G    D 
I bless the rains down in Afr--ica 
Em 	        C       G                Bm  D  Em G Bm   <--kinda tricky 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had           Listen & you'll 
                                                             know what I  
G*                           Bm       G*  Bm                 mean 
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 
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti 
I seek 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 Afr--ica 
 
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 Afr--ica 
I passed some rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa, 
I passed some rains down in Africa 
 
I bless the rains down in Africa 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
