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)

*** 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
