                                       F C 
 Under Kilimanjaro she guards her young
                                                    F C 
 And she speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue
                                         F C 
 She waits and she watches all night long
                                           F C 
 Calls to her lover and she sings this song
 
 CHORUS:
           F                 G         F C 
 I will be there for you whatever comes
         F               G            F Am 
 I am as constant as the beat of drums
                              F          
 My love is stronger than the noonday sun
      Dm7   
 Over Africa

 Over A---frica____
 
                                               F C 
 It's a force of nature, it's the power of need
                                                   F C 
 Love will heal you, baby, and it'll make you bleed
                                           F C 
 But I will be patient, I will bide my time
                                   F C 
 I will be waiting like a mama lion
 
 CHORUS:
           F                 G         F C 
 I will be there for you whatever comes
         F               G            F Am 
 I am as constant as the beat of drums
                              F          
 My love is stronger than the noonday sun
      Dm7

 BRIDGE:
                                 F            G 
 Between love and money, between pride and sin
                              F             
 We are just wild things underneath the skin
        G                          F            Csus4 
 In the cradle of creation we were made this way
                         F            C Cadd9 F C Cadd9 C 
 Bound together 'til our dying day_____
 
                                                   F C 
 It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth
                                           F C 
 Live by the senses, baby, die by the tooth
                                                    F C 
 But I would walk through fire, I would swim the sea
                                             F C 
 Long as I live and breathe, you belong to me
 
 CHORUS:
               F                 G         F C 
 And I will be there for you whatever comes
         F               G            F Am 
 I am as constant as the beat of drums
                              F          
 My love is stronger than the noonday sun
