I want to learn to play "Africa" by toto on the guitar, but I don't know the notes. What is the whole song.?

I know the first measure but I don't know the sixteenth notes it has after it? What are they?|||Found this. Maybe it helps:





{define A 5 1 1 2 3 3 1}


{define A/E 0 0 2 2 2 0 0}


{define B 7 1 1 2 3 3 1}


{define B/F# 2 1 3 3 3 1 1}


{define C#m 4 1 2 3 3 1 -}


{define D 5 1 3 3 3 1 -}


{define D#m7/Bb 6 1 2 1 3 1 1}


{define E 4 1 2 1 3 4 -}


{define E/F# 0 0 0 1 2 - 2}


{define E/G# 0 0 0 1 2 - 4}


{define Emaj7/G# 2 0 3 3 1 - 3}


{define F#m 2 1 1 1 3 3 1}


{define G#m7 4 1 1 1 1 3 1}





Keyboard intro : A G#m C#m





[B] I hear the drums [D#m7/Bb]echoin' to[G#m7]night.


[B/F#]She hears only [A/E]whispers of some [E/F#]quiet conver[Emaj7/G#]sation.


She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight.


Moonlight wings reflect the stars


That guide me toward salvation.


I stopped an old man along the way,


Hoping to find some old forgotten words,


Or ancient melodies.


[B] He turn to [D#m7/Bb]me as if to [G#m7]say,


"Hurry, boy, it's [A]waiting there for you."





[F#m] It's gonna take a [D]lot to drag me [A]away from [E]you,


[F#m] There's nothing that a [D]hundred men or [A]more could ever [E]do.


[F#m] I bless the [D]rains down in [A]Afri[E]ca,


[F#m] Gonna take some [D]time to do the [A]things we never [C#m]had. [E] [F#m] [E/G#] [A]





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,


Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.


I seem 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 Africa,


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 Africa,


I bless the rains down in Africa,


I bless the rains down in Africa,


I bless the rains down in Africa,


I bless the rains down in Africa,


Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
