Love Potion No 9

Am                         Dm 
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth 
Am                            Dm 
Witch Doctor told me that's what I should do 
C           Am          C                Am 
See I was down bad and she had herself a line 
Dm                        E      E7            Am 
Sellin' little bottles of   Love Potion Number Nine 

Am                      Dm 
I told her that I was a flop with chicks 
Am                   Dm 
I look like I'm from 1956 
    C            Am           C            Am 
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign 
    Dm                     E      E7            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, it looked like Indian ink 
  E               E7                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          C                 Am 
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine 
   Dm                        E      E7            Am 
She broke my little bottle of   Love Potion Number Nine 

Dm  B7  Dm 

  E               E7                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          C                 Am 
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine 
   Dm                        E      E7            Am 
She broke my little bottle of   Love Potion Number Nine
