Intro: G C G C
C F A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
D7 G Blue turned into green, then it was red.
C F And, stirring the night, loud music played
D7 G F G The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade. Chorus:
Continues after the ad
C "Step up and play", each maching seemed to say
G as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
G7 "Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
C and you'll make all the coloured lights cascade".
F C And music played in the penny arcade.
F G Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
C F C "Roll up and spend your last dime!" At first I thought it a dream that I was in. Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin. But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans, I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines. Chorus+
C F Roll up and spend your last, (2X)
C F C roll up and spend your last dime!"
