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.

Bm
Lucky you were born that far away so
F#m
We could both make fun of distance
G
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
D A
The lucky fact of your existence
Bm
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
F#m
To count the freckles on your body
G
Never could imagine there were only

FILL:
Bm, Em, A x2
VERSE2:
Bm
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
PRECHORUS:
Em
Le lo lo le lo le,
Bm
Le lo lo le ole,

I'm at your feet

That you'll live
A
Lost in my eyes!

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together
Bm G
I'll be there and you'll be near
Em A
And that's the deal my dear

There's nothing left to fear

If you really feel the way I feel
