Can you hear the drums Fernando?
F~m
starry night like this
Bm
In the firelight Fernando
E
and softly strumming your guitar
A
of bugle calls were coming from afar
A
They were closer now Fernando
F~m
seemed to last eternally
Bm
I was so afraid Fernando
E
and none of us prepared to die
A
Almost made me cry
E
There was something in the air that night
A
The stars were bright, Fernando
E
They were shining there for you and me,
A
for liberty, Fernando
F~
Though we never thought that we could lose,
B7
there’s no regret
E
If I had to do the same again,
A
I would, my friend, Fernando
E
If I had to do the same again,
A
I would, my friend, Fernando
A
Now we’re old and grey Fernando
F~m
I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
Bm
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
E
we crossed the Rio Grande?
A
For freeedom in this land
E
There was something in the air that night
A
The stars were bright, Fernando
E
They were shining there for you and me,
A
for liberty, Fernando
F~
Though we never thought that we could lose,
B7
there’s no regret
E
If I had to do the same again,
A
I would, my friend, Fernando
E
If I had to do the same again,
A
I would, my friend, Fernando
E
