Fernando

[Intro] A    D   D E D  D E A


[Verse]

                          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
Continúa después del anuncio
                                      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


[Bridge]

                          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
