Fernando:Abba
#1 in '76.
#1.
G
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Em
I remember long ago another starry night like this,
Am
In the firelight Fernando,
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your
D
guitar.
I could hear the distant drums,
G
and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar.
#2.
G
They were closer now Fernando,
Em
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally.
Am
I was so afraid Fernando.
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to
D
die.
And I'm not ashamed to say,
G
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry.
CHORUS:
D
There was something in the air that night,
G
The stars were bright, Fernando.
D
They were shining there for you and me,
D7 G
For liberty, Fernando.
G7 E
Though I never thought that we could lose,
A
There's no regret.
D
If I had to do the same again,
D7 C G
I would, my friend, Fernando.
#3.
G
Now we're old and grey Fernando.
Em
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand.
Am
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we
D
crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes,
G
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land.
CHORUS:(x2)
ADD:
D D7 G
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.
D
Yes, if I had to do the same again,
D7 C G
I would, my friend, Fernan..do.
