Fernando:Abba
#1 in '76.
[Verse 1]
[C] Can you hear the drums Fernando? I remember long ago another starry night like [Am] this. In the firelight [Dm] Fernando, you were humming to yourself and softly strumming your [G] guitar. I could hear the distant drums, and sounds of bugle calls were coming from [C] afar.
[Verse 2]
[C] They were closer now Fernando. Every hour every minute seemed to last [A,] eternally. I was so afraid [Dm] Fernando. We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to [G] die. And I'm not ashamed to say, the roar of guns and cannons almost made me [C] cry.
[Chorus Chorus]
[Verse 3]
[C] Now we're old and grey Fernando. [Am] And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand. Can you hear the drums [Dm] Fernando? Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio [G] Grande? I can see it in your eyes; How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land.
[Chorus Chorus] - - - - There was something in the [G] air that night. The stars were bright, [C] Fernando. They were shining there for [G] you and me; For [G] liberty, [C] Fernando. Though I [C7] never thought that we could [A] lose, there's no [D7] regret. If I had to do the [G] same again, I [G] would, my friend, [C] Fernando. If I had to do the [G] same again, I [G] would, my friend, [F] Fernando. [C]
[Chorus Chorus] - one more time through
[Outro]
Yes, If I had to do the [G] same again, I [G] would, my friend, [C] Fernando. If I had to do the [G] same again, I [G] would, my friend, [F] Fernando. [C]

[G] Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like [Em] this,
In the firelight [Am] Fernando,
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your [D7] guitar.

[G] They were closer now Fernando,
Every hour every minute seemed to last eterna-[Em]lly.
I was so afraid [Am] Fernando.
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to [D7] die.

There was something in the [D7] air that night,
The stars were bright, Fer-[G]nando.
They were shining there [D7] for you and me, for [D7] liberty, Fer-[G]nando.
Though I [G7] never thought that we could [E] lose,
There's no re-[A7]gret.

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your [Em] hand.
Can you hear the drums [Am] Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio [D7] Grande?
