Fernando

	A
	Can you hear the drums Fernando?

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

	Bm
In the firelight Fernand	o

	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

		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, Fern	ando

		F#	B7
	Though we never thought that we could	lose, there’s no regret

		E	A
	If I had to do the same a	gain, I would, my friend, Fernand	o

		E	A
	If I had to do the same a	gain, I would, my friend, Fernand	o

They were closer now Fernando

Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally

I was so afraid Fernando

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

Almost made me cry

Now we’re old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand

Can you hear the drums Fernando?

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

For freeedom in this land

Go back
