Artist: Shakira
Title: “Wherever, whenever”
Album: Laundry Service
tabbed by Roy Uno
This song can be played with a capo or without. So, I’m going to put out both versions at the same time. The capoed version is first:
NOTES: The 2nd fret is capoed. All notations are relative to capo.
Here is the intro and the chords that are used in the fill, verse, chorus, and prechorus.

Never could imagine there were only

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
F#m
They spill kisses like a fountain
G
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
D A
So you don’t confuse them with mountains
Bm
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
F#m
To run for cover when I need it
G
And these two eyes that for no other
D A
The day you leave will cry a river

Le lo lo le lo le,

That you’ll live
A
Lost in my eyes!

Whenever, wherever

I’ll be there and you’ll be near
Em A
And that’s the deal my dear

There over, hereunder

You’ve got me head over heels
Bm G
There’s nothing left to fear
Em A
If you really feel the way I feel
