xFernando:Abba
#1 in '76.
[Verse 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.
[Verse 2]
A
They were closer now Fernando,
F#m
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally.
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]
Esus4 E
There was something in the air that night,
A
The stars were bright, Fernando.
E
They were shining there for you and me,
E A
For liberty, Fernando.
A7 F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,
Bm
There's no regret.
E
If I had to do the same again,
E D A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
[Verse 3]
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?
Do you still recall the fateful night we
E
crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes,
A
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land.
[Chorus]
Esus4 E
There was something in the air that night,
A
The stars were bright, Fernando.
E
They were shining there for you and me,
E A
For liberty, Fernando.
A7 F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,
Bm
There's no regret.
E
If I had to do the same again,
E D A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
[Chorus]
Esus4 E
There was something in the air that night,
A
The stars were bright, Fernando.
E
They were shining there for you and me,
E7 A
For liberty, Fernando.
A7 F#
Though I never thought that we could lose,
Bm
There's no regret.
E
If I had to do the same again,
E D A
I would, my friend, Fernando.
[Outro]
E A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.
E
Yes, if I had to do the same again,
E D A
I would, my friend, Fernan..do.
