Version 1 Version 2
            "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]

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
She said "What you need is
E                     Am
   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]

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
He broke my little bottle of
E                     Am
   Love Potion Number Nine


[Bridge]

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


[Verse 4]

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
He broke my little bottle of 
E                     Am
   Love Potion Number Nine


[Coda]

Dm                    Am
   Love Potion Number Nine
Dm                    Am
        Love Potion Number Nine
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
