[Verse]
D
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
D/C# Bm
I remember long ago another starry night like this
Em
In the firelight Fernando
A
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums and sounds
D
of bugle calls were coming from afar
D
They were closer now Fernando
D/C# Bm
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
Em
I was so afraid Fernando
A
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
D
Almost made me cry
[Chorus]
A
There was something in the air that night
D
The stars were bright, Fernando
A D
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
Cø/C B7 E7
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
A D
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
A G A G G A D
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
D G D A D
[Bridge]
D
Now we're old and grey Fernando
Bm
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Em
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
A
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
D
For freedom in this land
[Chorus 2]
A
There was something in the air that night
D
The stars were bright, Fernando
A D
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
Cø/C B7 E7
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
A D
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
A
There was something in the air that night
D
The stars were bright, Fernando
A D
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
Cø/C B7 E7
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
A D
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
A D
As if I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
[Fade out]
A D
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
