[Am] I took my troubles down to [Dm] Madame Ruth
[Am] You know that gypsy with the [Dm] gold capped tooth
[C] She's got a [F] pad down on [Em] Thirty-Fourth and [Am] Vine
[C] Sellin' little [F] bottles [Em] of Love [E7] Potion Number [Am] Nine
[Am] I told her that I was a [Dm] flop withchicks
[Am] I'd been this way since nine- [Dm] teen fifty six
[C] She looked at [F] my palm and she [Em] made a magic [Am] sign
[C] She said "What you [F] need [Em] is Love [E7] Potion Number [Am] Nine"
She [Dm] bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She [G] said "I'm gonna make it up right [Em] here in the sink"
It [Dm] smelled like turpentine, it looked like India Ink
I [Em] held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a [E7] drink
[Am] I didn't know if it was [Dm] day or night
[Am] I started kissin' every-[Dm] thing in sight
[C] But when I kissed a [F] cop down on [Em] Thirty-Fourth and [Am] Vine
[C] Sellin' little [F] bottles [Em] of Love [E7] Potion Number [Am] Nine
[Am] I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a [E7] drink
[Am] I didn't know if it was [Dm] day or night
[Am] I started kissin' every-[Dm] thing in sight
[C] But when I kissed a [F] cop down on [Em] Thirty-Fourth and [Am] Vine
[C] He broke my little [F] bottles [Em] of Love [E7] Potion Number [Am] Nine
Love [E7] Potion Number [Am] Nine, love [E7] otion Number [Am] Nine ...
