Fernando    (intro) (midi)    (sample)

 

   G

1.   Can you hear the drums Fernando?

                                                                             Em   ~

    I remember long ago another starry night like this.

                                Am

    In the firelight Fernando,

                                                                                                   D

   you were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar.

 

 

    I could hear the distant drums and sounds

                                                          G

    of bugle calls were coming from afar.

 

  G

1.     They were closer now Fernando,

                                                                             Em  ~

    every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally.

                                  Am

    I was so afraid Fernando,

                                                                                                 D

    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

                                 G

    almost made me cry.

 

                                              D

There was something in the air that night,

                                          G

the stars were bright, Fernando.

                                               D                     D7              G

They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando.

                     G7                                       E                            A

Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret.

                             D                     D7                            G

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando

                             D                     D7                            C     - G

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  G

2.      Now we're old and grey Fernando,

                                                                               Em  ~

    since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand.

                                                 Am

    Can you hear the drums Fernando?

                                                                                             D

    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

                                      G

    for freeedom in this land.

 

                                              D

There was something in the air that night,

                                          G

the stars were bright, Fernando.

                                              D                      D7              G

They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando.

                    G7                                        E                            A

Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret.

                             D                    D7                             G

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando

 

+ CHORUS 

 

                                     D                     D7                           G

Yes, If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.

                            D                     D7                            G

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.

                            D                     D7                            C       - G

If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
