Am Dm
You know that gypsy ...
C Am
She's got a pad down ...
Dm
Sellin' little ...
E Am
Love Potion ...


Verse 2:

I told her that I was a flop ....

Bridge:

Dm
She bent down and turned around ...
B7
She said "I'm gonna make it up ...
Dm
It smelled like turpentine ...
E
I held my nose, I closed my eyes...


Verse 3:

Dm A B A G Am
[hold] --single notes--
Love Potion ...


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")
