Love Potion #9
The Clovers 

    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                                      E                       Am
       Sells them little bottles of... Love Potion #9

       I told her that I was a flop with chicks
       I been this way since nineteen fifty-six
       She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
       She said, what you need is... Love Potion #9

                                Dm 
                          She bent down, turned around, gave me a wink
                                 B 
                          She said, I'm gonna mix 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

       I didn't know if it was day or night
       I started kissing everything in sight
       But when I kissed that cop down at 34th and Vine
       He broke my little bottle of... Love Potion #9
                                        *Solo*   Dm  B  Dm

                          I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

       I didn't know if it was day or night
       I started kissing everything in sight
       But when I kissed that cop down at 34th and Vine
       He broke my little bottle of... Love Potion #9

   Dm                     Am
       Love Potion #9
       Love Potion #9
       Love Potion #9...
