E                        D  E
She comes on like a rose

                    D  E
And everybody knows

                        D  E
She'll get you in dutch
N.C. You can look but you'd better not touch [Chorus]
N.C.   C#m         G#m
Poison ivy, poison ivy

             C#m
Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around
[2nd Verse]
E                       D  E
She's pretty as a daisy

                              D  E
But look out man she's crazy

                        D  E
She'll really do you in
N.C. If you let her get under your skin [Chorus]

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around
[Bridge]
A
Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy

    E
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch

A common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you

    B
But poison ivy's gonna make you itch
[3rd Verse]
E                          D  E
You're gonna need an ocean

                   D  E
Of calamine lotion

                                  D  E
You'll be scratching like a hound
N.C. The minute you start to mess around [Chorus]
N.C.   C#m         G#m
Poison ivy, poison ivy

             C#m
Well late at night when you're sleeping

F#m                              C#m   B
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around
[Bridge]
A
Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy

Of calamine lotion

You'll be scratching like a hound
N.C. The minute you start to mess around [Chorus]
