"Love Potion Number Nine"

(Leiber/Stoller)

Verse 1:

Am Dm

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth

Am Dm

You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

C Am

She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine

Dm

Sellin' little bottles of

E Am

Love Potion Number Nine

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:

Dm

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink

B7

She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"

Dm

It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink

E

I held 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 Am

Love Potion Number Nine

Dm Am

Love Potion Number Nine

Dm A B A G Am

[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")
