Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Intro: G# C# G# C#

C# F#
A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
D#7 G#
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
C# F#
And, stirring the night, loud music played
D#7 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.
G#7
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
C#
and youʼll 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, x2
C# F# C#
roll up and spend your last dime!"
