Fernando - Abba | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
A | D | A 
                           A
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?

[Verse 1]
---------------------
                                                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
                                                                           A
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
                         A
They were closer now, Fernando

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                                               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
                                                                       A
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
                           E
There was something in the air that night

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                             A
The stars were bright, Fernando
                            E
They were shining there for you and me
                   A
For liberty, Fernando
          A7                            F#
Though we never thought that we could lose
                 B
There's no regret
                   E
If I had to do the same again
                          A
I would, my friend, Fernando
                   E
If I had to do the same again
                          D
I would, my friend, Fernando

[Interlude]
---------------------
A E A                           A
     Now we're old and grey, Fernando

[Verse 3]
---------------------
                                                F#m
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?
                                                                           A
I can see it in your eyes, how proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
                           E
There was something in the air that night

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                             A
The stars were bright, Fernando
                            E
They were shining there for you and me
                   A
For liberty, Fernando
         A7                            F#
Though I never thought that we could lose
                 B
There's no regret
                   E
If I had to do the same again
                          A
I would, my friend, Fernando
                           E
There was something in the air that night
                             A
The stars were bright, Fernando
                            E
They were shining there for you and me
                   A
For liberty, Fernando
         A7                            F#
Though I never thought that we could lose
                 B
There's no regret
                   E
If I had to do the same again
                          A
I would, my friend, Fernando
                        E
Yes, if I had to do the same again

[Fade Out]
---------------------
                          A
I would, my friend, Fernando
                   E
If I had to do the same again
                          A
I would, my friend, Fernando
