Fernando Acordes

[Intro] A    D   D E D  D E A
 
 
[Verse 1]
                          A
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
                                   A/G#       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
                         E7
I could hear the distant drums and sounds 
                                 A
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
                                                          E
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
        A
Almost made me cry
 
 
[Chorus]
                           E7
There was something in the air that night
                          A
The stars were bright, Fernando
                            E7                          A
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
                Gdim                  F#7              B
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
                   E7                              A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
                   E7                                 D
If I had to do the same again, 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?
                                                         E
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
                     E7
I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight
                    A
For freedom in this land
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                           E7
There was something in the air that night
                          A
The stars were bright, Fernando
                            E7                          A
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
                Gdim                  F#7              B
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
                   E7                              A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
 
                           E7
There was something in the air that night
                          A
The stars were bright, Fernando
                            E7                          A
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
                Gdim                  F#7              B
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
                   E7                              A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
                      E7                                 D
As if I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando (fade-out starts)
                   E7                              A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
