INTRO: G C (x2)

#1.
C                                      F 
The light shone in the night some way ahead. 
D7                                  G 
Blue turned into green, then it was red.  
     C                              F 
And, stirring the night, love music pla..yed.  
    D7                                   G      F G 
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.  
 
CHORUS:
C 
Step up and play, each machine 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.

#2.
C                                         F
At first I thought it a dream, that I was in.  
D7                               G
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin.  
    C                                         F
But no, so, dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,  
  D7                                     G
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.  

CHORUS:
C 
Step up and play, each machine 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.

CHORUS:
C 
Step up and play, each machine 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                
roll up and spend your last..
C           F                
roll up and spend your last..
C           F               C     
roll up and spend your last dime.
