Love Potion Number Nine:The Clovers.
Top of the charts in 1959.

#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 on Thirty-Fourth and Vine,
Dm                         E                  Am
sellin' little bottles of, Love Potion Number Nine.

#2.
Am                      Dm
I told her that I was a flop with chicks.
Am                                Dm
I've been this way since nineteen-fifty-six.
    C                         Am
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign..
    Dm                       E                  Am
She said, 'What you need is, Love Potion Number Nine.'

CHORUS:
    Dm
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink.
    B
She said "I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink."
   Dm
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India Ink..
  E
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink.

#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 a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine..
   Dm                         E                  Am
He broke my little bottle of, Love Potion Number Nine.

#4.
Am                      Dm
I didn't know if it was day or night.
Am                     Dm
I started kissin' everything in sight.
  C                        Am
I had so much fun that I'm goin' back again..
  Dm                        E                  Am
I wonder what happens with, Love Potion Number Ten?

OUTRO:
Dm                 Am     Dm                 Am
Love Potion Number Nine...Love Potion Number Nine.
Dm                 Am  B  Am G  Am
Love Potion Number Ni..i..i..i..ine.
