Intro: FA#FA#A#D#
A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
C7F
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
A#D#
And, stirring the night, loud music played
C7FD#F
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.
Chorus:
A#
"Step up and play", each maching seemed to say
F
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
F7
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
A#
and youʼll make all the coloured lights cascade".
D#A#
And music played in the penny arcade.
D#F
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
A#D#A#
"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:
A#D#
Roll up and spend your last, x2
A#D#A#
roll up and spend your last dime!"
