LOVE POTION NUMBER 9  ( The Searchers )
 
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                        E                    Am
Sellin' little bottles of   Love Potion Number Nine


Am                          Dm
   I told her that I was a flop with chicks
Am                           Dm
   I'd been this way since 1956
 C                            Am   
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
Dm                         E                    Am
She said "What you need is   Love Potion Number Nine"


    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


Am                         Dm
   I didn't know if it was day or night
Am                         Dm
   I started kissin' everything in sight
     C                            Am
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
   Dm                        E                    Am
He broke my little bottle of   Love Potion Number Nine


INSTRUMENTAL:   Dm        B7         Dm
   E                   
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink


Am                         Dm
   I didn't know if it was day or night
Am                         Dm
   I started kissin' everything in sight
     C                            Am
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
   Dm                        E                    Am
He broke my little bottle of   Love Potion Number Nine
Dm                    Am    Dm                    Am 
   Love Potion Number Nine     Love Potion Number Nine

 Dm                      A  B  A  G  Am
