Love Potion No 9 by Searchers
Love Potion No 9
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")
