A              
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
                                                F#m
I remember long ago another starry night like this
                        Bm
In the firelight Fernando
                                                             E
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
                 E
I could hear the distant drums and sounds 
                                        A
Of bugle calls were coming from afar

A
They were closer now Fernando
                                                F#m
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
                     Bm
I was so afraid Fernando
                                                           E
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
                        E
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons
                A
Almost made me cry

                                                 E
     There was something in the air that night
                                     A
R    The stars were bright, Fernando
e                                 E                                A
f    They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
r                                            F#                    B7
ã    Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
o                               E                                  A
     If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
                                E                                  A
     If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando

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