Fernando

1. [A] Can you hear the drums Fernando?
 I remember long ago another starry night like [F#m] this
 In the firelight [Bm] Fernando
 You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your [E] guitar
 I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from [A] afar

 2. [A] They were closer now Fernando,
 Every hour every minute seemed to last [F#m] eternally
 I was so afraid [Bm] Fernando.
 We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to [E] die
 And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me [A] cry

 Chorus: There was [Esus4] something in the [E] air
 That night the stars were bright, [A]Fernando
 They were shining there [E] for you and me for [E] liberty, [A] Fernando
 Though I [A7] never thought that we could [F#] lose there's no [B] regret
 If I had to do the [E] same again, I [E] would, my friend, [D] Fe-[A] rnando

 3. [A] Now we're old and grey Fernando
 And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your [F#m] hand 
 Can you hear the drums [Bm] Fernando?
 Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio [E] Grande?
 I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight for freedom in this [A] land

 * Out tro: If I had to do the [E] same again, I would, my friend, [A] Fernando
 Yes, if I had to do the [E] same again, I [E] would, my friend, [D] Fe-[A] rnando
