A
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
A/G# F#m
I remember long ago another starry night like this
Bm
In the firelight Fernando
E
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums and sounds
A
of bugle calls were coming from afar
A
They were closer now Fernando
A/G# F#m
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
Bm
I was so afraid Fernando
E
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons
A
Almost made me cry
chorus -
E
There was something in the air that night
A
The stars were bright, Fernando
E A
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
C√∏/G F#7 B7
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
E A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
E D E D D E A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
A D A E A
A
Now we're old and grey Fernando
F#m
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Bm
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
E
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight
A
For freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright, Fernando

They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando

Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that night

The stars were bright, Fernando
E A
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
C√∏/G F#7 B7
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
E A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
E A
As if I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando |
