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!"
