Fernando - ABBA chords
Key:
A
Singer/Band:
ABBA
1. [A] Can you hear the drums Fernando
I remember long ago another starry night like [F#m] this
In the firelight [Bm] Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your [E] guitar
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from [A]
afar
2. [A] They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last [F#m] eternally
I was so afraid [Bm] Fernando.
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to [E] die
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me [A] cry
Chorus: There was something in the [E] air
That night the stars were bright Fer-[A] nando
They were shining there for you and me for [E] liberty, Fer-[A] nando
Though I [A7] never thought that we could [F#] lose there's no [B] regret
If I had to do the [A] same again, I [E] would, my friend Fe-[A] rnando
3. [A] Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your [F#m] hand
Can you hear the drums [Bm] Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio [E] Grande?
I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight for freedom in this [A]
land
* Out tro: If I had to do the [E] same again, I would, my friend, Fer-[A] nando
Yes, if I had to do the same again, I [E] would, my friend, [D] Fe-[A] rnando
