Tom: A5
A5
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
F#5
I remember long ago another starry night like this
B5
In the firelight Fernando
E5
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
E5
I could hear the distant drums and sounds
A5
Of bugle calls were coming from afar
Chorus:
E5
There was something in the air that night
A5
The stars were bright, Fernando
E5 A5
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
F#5 B5
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
E5 A5
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
E5 A5
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
A5
They were closer now Fernando
F#5
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
B5
I was so afraid Fernando
E5
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
E5
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons
A5
Almost made me cry
**Chorus
A5
Now we're old and grey Fernando
F#5
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
B5
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
E5
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
E5
I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight
A5
For freedom in this land
