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.

*** the spacing of the chords is a result of my laziness...
don't rely on it... ;)
AI hear the drums Dbmechoing tonGbmight
A G Bm Gbm (G Gbm Bm)
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
AShe's coming in 1Dbm2:30 flightGbm
A G Bm Gbm (G Gbm Bm)
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
AI stopped an old Dbmman along tGbmhe 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)
EmIt's gonna take Ca lot to drag me Gaway from Dyou
EmThere's nothing that a Chundred men or Gmore could ever Ddo
EmI bless the Crains down in GAfr--Dica
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
