PENNY ARCADE – ROY ORBISON

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 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!”

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 X 2

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!”
