#1 in '76. [Verse 1]
A
Can you hear the drums Fernando?

                                              F#m
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,

                                           F#m
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                          F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,

           B7
There's no regret.

                   E
If I had to do the same again,

  E                 A
I would, my friend, Fernando.

                   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.

                                                    F#m
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.
[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                          F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,

           B7
There's no regret.

                   E
If I had to do the same again,

  E                 A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
[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,

    E7       A
For liberty, Fernando.

         A7                          F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,

  E                A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
[Outro]
                   E                                            A
Yes, If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.

                        E
If I had to do the same again, 

  E                 D       A
I would, my friend, Fernan..do.
