[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
[Instrumental bridge]

[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

This really helps. The finger positions and maybe a video close-up of somebody playing it would really help us total newbies. Thank you!
