intro: A    D   D E D  D E A 

                          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
		Cø/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


chorus 2:

					  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
		Cø/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
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
		Cø/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


fade out:
			    E				              A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
