1) Can you hear the drums Fernando?
2) They were closer now Fernando
3) Now we're old and grey Fernando

A----------F#m----------------------------------------- Bm-----------
1) I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight Fernando
2) Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando
3) And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums Fernando?

Bm------------E----------------------------------A---
1) You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
2) We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
3) Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?

A-----------------F#m---------------------------------------A
1) I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
2) And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons Almost made me cry
3) I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight For freeedom in this land

chorus:A There was something in the E air that night The stars were bright, A Fernando
A They were shining there for E you and me, for liberty, A Fernando
A Though we thought that we could F# never lose, there's B no re- B7 gret
B7 If I had to do the E same again, I would, my friend, A Fernando
A If I had to do the E same again, I would, my friend, D Fernan- A do
