 Verse 1:

         Em
           Black is black
         D
           I want my baby back
         Em
           It's gray, it's gray
         A7                           D                           
           Since she went away, whoa-whoa
                    (D)
         What can I do
                Em      A7
         'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
                      D
         I'm feelin' blue

 Verse 2:

         If I had my way
         She'd be back today
         But she don't intend
         To see me again, whoa-whoa
         What can I do
         'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
         I'm feelin' blue

 Bridge:

         Em
         I can't choose
              F#m
         It's too much to lose
             G                  (G) F# F
         My love's too strong    /  /  /
         (F)   E7
         Wow!  Maybe if she would come back to me
                  A               F#m  B
         Then it can't go wrong

 Verse 3:

         Bad is bad
         That I feel so sad
         It's time, it's time
         That I found peace of mind, whoa-whoa
         What can I do
         'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
         I'm feelin' blue

 Take a Spanish band fronted by a German-born Gene Pitney soundalike, borrow
 a bassline from the Four Tops, and what do you get?  A #4 (US) hit for
 Los Bravos in the fall of '66.  --AWR
