A Can you hear the drums, Fernando? A I remember long ago F#m Another starry night like this. Bm In the firelight, Fernando, Bm You were humming to yourself E And softly strumming your guitar. E I could hear the distant drums E And sounds of bugle calls were A Coming from afar. A They were closer now Fernando. A Every hour, every minute F#m Seemed to last eternally. Bm I was so afraid, Fernando, Bm We were young and full of life E And none of us prepared to die. E And I'm not ashamed to say, E The roar of guns and cannons A Almost made me cry. Chorus: A There was something E7 In the air that night, A The stars were bright, Fernando. A They were shining E7 There for you and me, A For liberty, Fernando. A/G Though I never thought F# That we could lose, B7 There's no regret. B7 If I had to do E7 The same again, A I would my friend, Fernando. A If I had to do E7 The same again, D I would my friend, Fernando. A Now we're old and grey, Fernando, A And since many years I haven't F#m Seen a rifle in your hand. Bm Can you hear the drums, Fernando? Bm Do you still recall the fateful E Night we crossed the Rio Grande? E I can see it in your eyes, E How proud you were to fight for A Freedom in this land. Chorus - x2 A Yes, if I had to do E7 The same again, A I would my friend, Fernando. A If I had to do E7 The same again, A I would my friend, Fernando...
