Can you hear the drums Fer[A]nando?
I remember long ago another starry 
[A/G#]night like [F#m]this
In the firelight Fer[Bm]nando
You were humming to yourself and 
softly strumming your gui[E]tar
I could hear the distant [E7]drums and sounds
of bugle calls were coming from a[A]far

They were closer now Fer[A]nando
Every hour, every minute seemed 
to last eternal[F#m]ly
I was so afraid Fer[Bm]nando
We were young and full of life and 
none of us prepared to [E]die

And I'm not ashamed to say the 
roar of guns and cannons
Almost m[A]ade me cry

There was something in the [E7]air that night
The stars were bright, Fer[A]nando
They were shining there for [E7]you and me, 
for liberty, Fer[A]nando
Though we never [Gdim]thought that we 
could [F#7]lose, there's no [B]regret
If I had to do the [E7]same again, 
I would, my friend, [A]Fernando
If I had to do the [E7]same again, 
I would, my friend, Fer[D]nando

Now we're old and grey Fer[A]nando
And since many years I haven't seen 
a rifle in your [F#m]hand
Can you hear the drums Fer[Bm]nando?
Do you still recall the fateful night 
we crossed the Rio [E]Grande?
I can see it in your [E7]eyes how 
proud you were to fight
For freedom in this [A]land

There was something in the [E7]air that night
The stars were bright, Fer[A]nando
They were shining there for [E7]you 
and me, for liberty, Fer[A]nando
Though we never [Gdim]thought that 
we could [F#7]lose, there's no [B]regret
If I had to do the [E7]same again, 
I would, my friend, [A]Fernando

There was something in the [E7]air that night

Though we never [Gdim]thought that 
we could [F#7]lose, there's no [B]regret
If I had to do the [E7]same again, 
I would, my friend, [A]Fernando
As if I had to do the [E7]same again, 
I would, my friend, Fer[D]nando
If I had to do the [E7]same again, 
I would, my friend, [A]Fernando
