Mandrake Root

(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)

From "Shades of Deep Purple", 1968

E7+9
I've got a Mandrake Root

 D E7+9
It's a thunder in my brain


I feed it to my babe

 D E7+9
She thunders just the same

D A Bm F#
Food of love sets her flame

G A B
Ah, stick it up


E7+9
I've got the Mandrake Root

D E7+9
Baby's just the same


She still feels a quiver

D E7+9
She's still got the flame

D A Bm F#
She slows down, slows right down

G A B
I've got the power
