Verse 1
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of
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
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink
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
Bridge
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
Verse 4
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
Coda

Dm N.C. Am
Love Potion Number Ni-i-i-i--ine
(single notes: A B A G) Am
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
