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!?
