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:

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!"
