Toto IV (1983)

(rythme)

A  B6/G♯ C♯m(sus4)  x 4

B                D♯m       G♯m
I hear the drums echoin' tonight
G♯m7         A                C♯m7        G♯m7 A    B6/G♯ C♯m
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa   tion
She's comin' in 1230 flight
The moolight winds reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hopin' to find some old forgotten words of ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
G♯m7            A                      B6/G♯ C♯m           (fill drum)
"Hurry boy it's waitin' there for you"

  F♯m          D               A        E(sus4)
  Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  F♯m                   D         A               E(sus4)
  There's nothing that 100 men or more could ever do
  F♯m         D             A   E(sus4)
  I bless the rains down in Africa
  F♯m             D              A               C♯m  E  F♯m  E/G♯
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

A  B6/G♯ C♯m(sus4)  x 2

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longin' for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimangiaro rises like Olimpus above the Serangetti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

  Refrain

A  B6/G♯ C♯m(sus4)  x 2

Progression du couplet w/ solo, fin:

"Hurry boy it's waitin' there for you"

  Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  There's nothing that 100 men or more could ever do

  I bless the rains down in Africa  x 5

  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

A  B6/G♯ C♯m(sus4)  x N

en fadant tranquillement, à la fin juste: a  g♯ d♯  puis plus rien
