Fernando:Abba
#1 in '76.
Verse 1
[A]
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
[F#m]
I remember long ago another starry night like this,
[Bm]
In the firelight Fernando,
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your
[E]
guitar.
I could hear the distant drums,
[A]
and sounds 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.
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to
[E]
die.
And I'm not ashamed to say,
[A]
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry.
Chorus
[Esus4] [E]
There was something in the air that night,
[A]
The stars were bright, Fernando.
[E]
They were shining there for you and me,
[E] [A]
For liberty, Fernando.
[A7] [F#]
Though I never thought that we could lose,
[B7]
There's no regret.
[E]
If I had to do the same again,
[E] [A]
I would, my friend, Fernando.
[E]
If I had to do the same again,
[E] [D] [A]
I would, my friend, Fernando.
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?
Do you still recall the fateful night we
[E]
crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes,
[A]
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land.
Chorus
[Esus4] [E]
There was something in the air that night,
[A]
The stars were bright, Fernando.
[E]
They were shining there for you and me,
[E] [A]
For liberty, Fernando.
[A7] [F#]
Though I never thought that we could lose,
[B7]
There's no regret.
[E]
If I had to do the same again,
[E] [A]
I would, my friend, Fernando.
Chorus
[Esus4] [E]
There was something in the air that night,
[A]
The stars were bright, Fernando.
[E]
They were shining there for you and me,
[E7] [A]
For liberty, Fernando.
[A7] [F#]
Though I never thought that we could lose,
[B7]
There's no regret.
[E]
If I had to do the same again,
[E] [A]
I would, my friend, Fernando.
Outro
[E] [A]
Yes, If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando.
[E]
If I had to do the same again,
[E] [D] [A]
I would, my friend, Fernan..do.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
