[Verse 1]
A
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
A F#m
I remember long ago another starry night like this
Bm
In the firelight Fernando
Bm E
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
E A
I could hear the distant drums, and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
[Verse 2]
A
They were closer now Fernando
A F#m
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
Bm/D F#7/C# Bm
I was so afraid Fernando
Bm E
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
E A
And I'm not ashamed to say, the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
[Chorus]
Asus4 A E
There was something in the air that night
E A
The stars were bright, Fernando
Asus4 A E
They were shining there for you and me
E A
For liberty, Fernando
A7/G F#
Though I never thought that we could lose
B
There's no regret.
B B7 E
If I had to do the same again
E A
I would, my friend, Fernando
Asus4 A E
If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando
A F#m
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?
E A
I can see it in your eyes, how proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
