Verse 1:

	Am                          Dm
	I took my troubles down ...
	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

[repeat bridge, first three lines instrumentally]

[repeat verse 3]

Coda:

	Dm                  Am
	Love Potion ...
	Dm                  Am
	Love ...
	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")
