#1 in 1976.
#1.
A
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
F#m
I remember long ago another starry night like this..
Bm
In the firelight Fernando..
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your
E
guitar.
I could hear the distant drums,
A
and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar.
#2.
A
They were closer now Fernando..
F#m
every hour, every minute seemed to last, eternal..ly.
Bm
I was so afraid Fernando.
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to
E
die.
And I'm not ashamed to say,
A
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry.
CHORUS:
A E
There was something in the air that night,
A E A
The stars were bright, Fernando.
A E
They were shining there for you and me,
A E7 A
For liberty, Fernando.
A7 F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,
B
There's no regret.
E
If I had to do the same again,
E7 D A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
E
If I had to do the same again,
E7 D A
I would, my friend, Fernando.

Now we're old and gray, Fernando.

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

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 freedom in this land.
