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. Chords (in no apparent order whatsoever) G Bm A Dbm Gbm --3-----2-----0-----0-----3-----3-----| --3-----3-----0-----1-----3-----3-----| --4-----4-----0-----0-----0-----4-----| --5-----4-----2-----2-----0-----5�----| --5-----2-----2-----3-----2-----5-----| --3-----X-----0-----0-----3-----3-----| Chorus Em C G D --0-----0-----3-----2--| --0-----1-----3-----3--| --0-----0-----4-----2--| --2-----2-----5-----0�-| --2-----3-----5-----0--| --0-----0-----3-----X--| *** the spacing of the chords is a result of my laziness... don't rely on it... ;) 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
