Love Potion No 9

"Love Potion Number Nine" (Leiber/Stoller) [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]    Love Potion Number Nine         Love Potion Number Nine    Love Potion Number Ni-i-i-i--ine             (single notes:    ) 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
