Verse 1:



Ab Fm

Woke up this morning, my head was so bad

Db Eb

The worst hangover that I ever had

Ab Fm

What happened to me last night

Db Eb

That girl of mine, she loved me so right (yeah!) (oh, oh)

Ab Fm

She loved me so long and she loved me so hard

Db Eb

I finally passed out in her front yard (whoo!)

Ab Fm

It wasn't wine that I had too much of

Db Eb Ab Eb7

It was a double shot of my baby's love



Chorus:



Ab Fm Ab

Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah

(Ab) Fm Ab

Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah

(Ab) Fm

A potion that I had too much of

Db Eb Ab Eb

It was a double shot of my baby's love



[repeat intro]



Verse 2:



It was such a thrill it was hurtin' me (ooh!)

I was sufferin' in ecstasy

She had me turnin' flips and-a shoutin' out loud (yah-hah!)

A sip of her love and I was walkin' one a cloud

One night a week is-a plenty enough

It's a good thing for me they don't bottle that stuff [pop!]

Well, my heart begins to fly like a dove

When I take a double shot of my baby's love



[repeat chorus]



Coda [repeat to fade over trash organ riff from intro]:



Ab Fm

Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah



-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers



Second-greatest frat-rocker ever (do I need to tell you what's #1?);

according to Dave Marsh, it sounds like it was 'recorded live at Animal

House'. Originally done in the late 50's by Dick Holler and the Holidays,

and covered in 1966 by both the K-Otics and the Swingin' Medallions, the

latter of whom took it all the way to #17 that summer. And as for Holler

himself, he went on to write 'Abraham, Martin, and John' - which goes to

show you never can tell. --AWR
