Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to [C7]last eternally
I was [Am7]so afraid Fernando
We were young and [Bm]full of life and [Bm]none of us prepared to [C7]die
And I'm not ashamed to [C7]say
The ɾoar of guns and [Bm]cannons almost made me cry
There was [Am7]something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for [Dm7]you [A7and [Bm]me for [Dm7]liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no ɾegret
If I had to [C7]do the same again, I would my [A]friend, Fernando
If I had to [C7]do the same again, I would my [A]friend, Fernando
Now we're old and [Bm]gray Fernando
Since many years I haven't seen a ɾifle in your hand
Can you [A7hear the drums Fernando?
Do you [A7still ɾecall [Em]the faithful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you [A7were to [C7]fight for [Dm7]freedom in this land
There was [Am7]something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for [Dm7]you [A7and [Bm]me for [Dm7]liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no ɾegret
If I had to [C7]do the same again, I would my [A]friend, Fernando
There was [Am7]something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for [Dm7]you [A7and [Bm]me for [Dm7]liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no ɾegret
If I had to [C7]do the same again, I would my [A]friend, Fernando
Yes if I had to [C7]do the same again, I would my [A]friend, Fernando
If I had to [C7]do the same again, I would my [A]friend, Fernando
