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.

C F
Roll up and spend your last, (2X)
C F C
roll up and spend your last dime!?
