INTRO: (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.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
