Can you hear the drums Fernando?

                 A                            F#m
I remember long ago another starry night like this

                    Bm
In the firelight Fernando

                        Bm                                E
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar

                         E                                                  A
I could hear the distant drums, and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
[Verse 2]
                        A
They were closer now Fernando

                 A                            F#m
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally

      Bm  F#7      Bm
I was so afraid Fernando

                          Bm                              E
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die

                       E                                                A
And I'm not ashamed to say, the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
[Chorus]
A          Asus4     A      E
 There was something in the air that night

    E                  A
The stars were bright, Fernando

A          Asus4   A         E
 They were shining there for you and me

    E           A
For liberty, Fernando

         A7                          F#
Though I never thought that we could lose

             B
There's no regret

B     B7            E
 If I had to do the same again

  E                    A
I would, my friend, Fernando

A     Asus4  A      E
 If I had to do the same again

  E                   [ D ]
I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando

                       A                            F#m
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand

        Bm       F#7      Bm
Can you hear the drums Fernando?

                        Bm                               E
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?

                     E                                                     A
I can see it in your eyes, how proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
[Chorus]
A          Asus4     A      E
 There was something in the air that night

    E                     A
The stars were bright, Fernando

A          Asus4   A         E
 They were shining there for you and me

    E           A
For liberty, Fernando

         A7                          F#
Though I never thought that we could lose

             B
There's no regret

B     B7            E
 If I had to do the same again

  E                    A

A          Asus4  A      E
 Yes, if I had to do the same again

  E                    A
I would, my friend, Fernando
