Love Potion No 9

verse 1:

        Am                         
        I took my troubles down to 
 Dm
Madame Ruth
        Am                         
        You know that gypsy with 
   Dm
the gold-capped tooth
        C                          
        She's got a pad down at 
       Am
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
Continues after the ad
        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

instrumental: chords same as bridge;
 sing last line ("I held...")

(repeat verse 3)

outro:

        Dm                  Am
        Love Potion Number Nine
        Dm                  Am
        Love Potion Number Nine
        Dm                  A   B
           {hold}           
   A   G    Am
