Fernando

{st:ABBA}

[A]Can you hear the drums Fernando?

I remember long ago another starry night like th[F#m]is

In the firelight Fernand[Bm]o

You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar[E]

I could hear the distant drums and sounds

of bugle calls were coming from afar[A]

{c:Chorus:}

There was something in the air that nigh[E]t

The stars were bright, Fernando[A]

They were shining there for y[E]ou and me, for liberty, Fer[A]nando

Though we never thought that we could lo[F#]se, there's no regre[B7]t

If I had to do the same aga[E]in, I would, my friend, Fernand[A]o

If I had to do the same aga[E]in, I would, my friend, Fernand[A]o

{c:Other verses :}

They were closer now Fernando

Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally

I was so afraid Fernando

We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die

And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons

Almost made me cry

Now we're old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand

Can you hear the drums Fernando?

Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?

I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight

For freeedom in this land
