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

  I want my baby back
Em
  It's gray, it's gray
A7                           D
  Since she went away, whoa-whoa
           (D)

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

I'm feelin' blue
