Intro: A D A

Verse 1:
A
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
                                              Gbm
I remember long ago another starry night like this,
                 Bm
In the firelight Fernando,
 
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your
E
guitar.
 
I could hear the distant drums,
                                           A
and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar.
 
Verse 2:
A
They were closer now Fernando,
                                           Gbm
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally.
                Bm
I was so afraid Fernando.
 
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to
E
die.
 
And I'm not ashamed to say,
                                            A
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry.
 
Chorus:
          Esus4            E
There was something in the air that night,
                       A
The stars were bright, Fernando.
                        E
They were shining there for you and me,
    E        A
For liberty, Fernando.
         A7                          Gb
Though I never thought that we could lose,
           Bm
There's no regret.
                   E
If I had to do the same again,
  E                 D       A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
 
Verse 3:
A
Now we're old and grey Fernando.
                                                    Gbm
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand.
                       Bm
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
 
Do you still recall the fateful night we
                E
crossed the Rio Grande?
 
I can see it in your eyes,
                                                A
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land.

          Esus4            E
There was something in the air that night,
                       A
The stars were bright, Fernando.
                        E
They were shining there for you and me,
     E       A
For liberty, Fernando.
         A7                          Gb
Though I never thought that we could lose,
           Bm
There's no regret.
                   E
If I had to do the same again,
  E                 D       A
I would, my friend, Fernando.

The stars were bright, Fernando.
                        E
They were shining there for you and me,
    E7       A
For liberty, Fernando.
         A7                          Gb

                        E
Yes, if I had to do the same again,

I would, my friend, Fernan..do.
