"Love Potion Number Nine"
(Leiber/Stoller)
Verse 1:
[Am]I took my troubles down to M[Dm]adame Ruth
[Am]You know that gypsy with the g[Dm]old-capped tooth
[C]She's got a pad down at 34th and V[Am]ine
[Dm]Sellin' little bottles of
[E]Love Potion Number N[Am]ine
Verse 2:
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I'd been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is
Love Potion Number Nine"
Bridge:
She b[Dm]ent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She s[B7]aid "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It s[Dm]melled like turpentine and looked like India ink
I h[E]eld my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
Verse 3:
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion Number Nine
(repeat bridge, first three lines instrumentally)
(repeat verse 3)
Coda:
[Dm]Love Potion Number N[Am]ine
[Dm]Love Potion Number N[Am]ine
[Dm] (hold) [A]--si[B]ngle[A] not[G]es--[Am]
Love Potion Number Nine
Notes:
1) on the first verse, slide chromatically to the Am and Dm
2) this is the Searchers' version; the Clovers' original used
somewhat different chord changes (and had a final verse about
"Love Potion Number Ten")
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
