Fernando by ABBA Kalimba

E E E F F G-G-G
Can you hear the drums Fernando?

E E-E-F F G-G
I remember long ago

F-F-E E-D D C C
Another starry night like this…

F F F-G-G A-A-A

In the firelight Fernando
F F F-G G A-A
You were humming to yourself

G G-F F – E E D-D
And softly strumming your guitar

G G G A A-B B
I could hear the distant drums

A A G G-F F
And sounds of bugle calls

E E-D D C-C
Were coming from afar

E E E – F F G-G-G
They were closer now Fernando

E E-E F-F G-G
Every hour every minute

F E E D-D-C-C
Seemed to last eternally…

F F F G-G A-A-A
I was so afraid Fernando

F F F G G A A
We were young and full of life

G G F F E – E D D
And none of us prepared to die

G G G A-A B B
And I’m not ashamed to say

A A G G F F-E
The roar of guns and cannons

E – D D C C
Almost made me cry…

C° C° C°-C°
There was something

C° C° B G F
In the air that night

C° B G F
The stars were bright

B – A – G
Fernando…

C° C° C°-C° C°
They were shining there

C° B G F
For you and me

C° B-G-F B-A-G
For liberty, Fernando

E E E-E E
Though we never thought

E F G A
That we could lose

E F E-E-D
There’s no regret…

C° C° C° C° C° C° B G-F
If I had to do the same again

C° B G F E-D-C
I would, my friend, Fernando

C° C° C° C° C° C° B G-F
If I had to do the same again

C° B G F E-D-C
I would, my friend, Fernando
