Fernando Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Can [G]You hear the drums flamenco
I remember long ago
we had a starry night [Em]like this
In [Am]the firelight,
You were humming to yourself
and softly strumming your gui[D]tar
I could hear the distant drums
and the sound of bugle calls
were coming from [G]afar
They were closer now, Fernando
Every hour, every minute
seemed to last eternally
[Em]I was so a[Am]fraid, Fernando
We were young and full of life,
but none of us prepared to [D]die
And I'm not ashamed to say
the roar of guns
and cannons almost made [G]me cry
There was something in the [D]air that night,
that stars were bright, Fernan[G]do
They were shining there for [D]you and me,
for liberty, Fernan[G]do
Though we never thought that we could lose,
[E]
there's no regret
[A]If I had to do the sam[D]e again,
I would, my friend,
[G]Fernan[D]do[C][G]
[D][Dsus4][D][G]
Now we're old and grey, Fernando
Since many years
I haven't seen a rifle in [Em]your hand
Can you [Am]hear the drums, Fernando?
Do you still recall
the fateful night
we crossed the Rio Grande?
[D]I can see it in your eyes
how proud you were
to fight for freedom in this [G]land
There was something in the [D]air that night
that stars were bright, Fernan[G]do
They were shining there for [D]you and me,
for liberty, Fernan[G]do
But we never thought that we could lose,
[E]
there's no regret
[A]If I had to do the sam[D]e again,
I would, my friend, Fernan[G]do
There was something in the [D]air that night,
the stars were bright, Fernan[G]do
They were shining there for [D]you and me,
for liberty, Fernan[G]do
Though we never thought that we could lose,
[E]
there's no re[A]gret
If I had to do the [D]same again,
I would, my friend, Fernan[G]do
Yes, if I had to do the [D]same again,
I would, my friend, [G]yeah
If I had to do the [D]same again,
I would, my friend, yeah
