        [Em]I took my troubles down to M[Am]adame Ruth

        [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

    [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")
