        [Em]I took my troubles down to M[Am]adame Ruth
        [Em]You know that gypsy with the g[Am]old-capped tooth
        [G]She's got a pad down at 34th and V[Em]ine
        [Am]Sellin' little bottles of
        [B]Love Potion Number N[Em]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[Am]ent down and turned around and gave me a wink
        She s[F#7]aid "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
        It s[Am]melled like turpentine and looked like India ink
        I h[B]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
instrumental: chords same as bridge; sing last line ("I held...")
(repeat verse 3)
outro:
        [Am]Love Potion Number N[Em]ine
        [Am]Love Potion Number N[Em]ine
        [Am]                    [E]    [F#]    [E]    [D]     [Em]                                         
    [hold]           --single notes--

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
